Description of the medal
In honor of the 25th Anniversary of the Reunification of Jerusalem, the people of Israel makes a covenant with its eternal capital city, as was done 2,450 years earlier by Nehemiah and the returnees from exile in Babylon. The present Covenant is signed in special ceremonies by Jewish leaders in Israel and abroad. This medal is a tangible symbol of the Covenant. Each of us can fulfill the passage engraved upon it, which is also this year's slogan" "pray for the peace of Jerusalem".
