Sacred Light From The Tabernacle in Jerusalem Day

Jerusalem
Day is an annual event celebrated according to the Hebrew calendar on

28th of Iyar. It started on May 12 1968 in order to mark the Israeli
liberation of East Jerusalem in 1967.

This
year the celebrations will include an exhibit of twelve lighted candleholders,
2 meters high each, created by Jeweler Yaniv Shapira
who manufactured them according to researcher Uri Ofir's theory that the
candleholder in the Tabernacle had the shape of a Star of David. These
candleholders were first presented to the world on the starting event of the
sixtieth Independence Day when dozens of young dancers surrounded them at Herzl
Mount.

The
candleholders will be situated at Safra Square, near to the municipality
building, on coming Tuesday, 3 June, from 16:00 until 23:00.

Yaniv
Shapira was born in Jerusalem and his family lives in Israel for ten
generations.
