Naomi Shemer, in a song titled “Jerusalem of Gold,” wrote, “Oh Jerusalem of gold and of light and of bronze; I am the lute for all your songs. But as I sing to you, my city, and you with crowns adorn, I am the least of all your children, of all the poets born. Your name will scorch my lips forever, like a seraph’s kiss, I’m told. If I forget thee, golden city, Jerusalem of gold. Oh Jerusalem of gold and of light and of bronze; I am the lute for all your songs. The wells are filled again with water, the square with joyous crowd, on the Temple Mount within the city, the shofar rings aloud.” !
