Need bibliographic reference.  On June 7, 1967, the Israeli Army took
back the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem.  The chief Rabbi of the Israeli
Army (name Shlomo or Sholam  Gorram???) supposedly said, "I proclaim
to you the beginning of the Messianic age."  I need an AUTHORITATIVE
reference -- i.e., from a real newspaper, not from someone's website.  Thank you!

Hello.

I've located a reference to this quotation in an article entitled, "A
Region Reshaped 6-Day War: The Legacy of Conflict Series: THE SIX-DAY
WAR: 20 Years AFTER" that appeared on May 31, 1987 in the Los Angeles
Times.


Here are some excerpts from the article:

'DAY TWO: Tightening the Noose
...The army's chief rabbi, Shlomo Goren, pressured Gur throughout the
day not to wait for orders.
Goren had come to Israel from Poland as a child. He was a member of
the Stern Gang, the most radical of the pre-1948 Jewish fighting
forces in what was then British-administered Palestine. Later he
joined the regular army, serving during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War as a
rabbi by day and a machine-gunner by night.
Now, he argued, Gur had an opportunity to secure Judaism's holiest
site, the so-called Western, or Wailing, Wall, the only remnant of
Judaism's Second Temple complex, destroyed by the Romans in AD 70.
...
DAY THREE: The Western Wall
...  For the pitted, 35-foot-high limestone wall to be back in the
hands of a unified Israeli nation after nearly 2,000 years was
considered by religious and secular Jews alike as one of the great
moments in their people's history.
   His gray beard quivering with emotion, Goren declared: "We have
taken the City of God. We are entering the Messianic era for the
Jewish people." '
