This firsthand account examines the experiences of Jerusalem residents during the Six-Day War of June 1967, particularly focusing on the three-day period of intense urban combat from June 5-7. Through ethnographic observation and personal narrative methodology, Goitein documents the psychological and social dynamics of civilian life under wartime conditions in a contested urban environment. The study reveals how civilian populations adapted to prolonged military mobilization, including the transformation of social roles, improvised transportation systems, and the integration of educational institutions into war efforts. Key findings demonstrate the resilience of urban infrastructure, particularly telecommunications, and the emergence of spontaneous community support networks during crisis periods. The analysis highlights the profound psychological impact of territorial recapture, specifically the liberation of the Old City and access to the Western Wall, on both secular and religious populations. The research documents immediate post-conflict administrative measures, including collaborative governance structures between Israeli and local Arab authorities in occupied territories. The study concludes that the reunification of Jerusalem represented a fundamental transformation in Israeli national consciousness, evidenced by mass pilgrimage patterns and the emergence of new ritualistic expressions of territorial attachment among previously secular populations.
