Jerusalem of Gold

This Sunday our community will observe Tisha B'av and turn our attention to the city of Jerusalem, mourning the destruction of its temples some two millenniums ago. Here is the most famous love song to Jerusalem, my hometown, sung with my amazing colleagues Cantors Netanel Herstik and Yaakov Lemmer live in Amsterdam for the PBS Special “The New York Cantors“. “Jerusalem of Gold and of bronze and of light, to all your songs I'm but a fiddle.“ -Naomi Shemer (1930-2004).
