Oh Jerusalem!

Starting tonight and continuing all through Sunday (until sunset) Israel and the Jewish people will be celebrating the 45th anniversary of the reunification of the City of David, Jerusalem.

On Saturday night and Sunday Israelis will celebrate Jerusalem Day, which marks the reunification of Jerusalem in the Six Day War after 19 years of Jordanian rule in half of the city.

Synagogues were full Saturday night as many Israelis held special, festive prayer sessions in honor of the 45th anniversary of the capital’s reunification.

The government will hold a special session Sunday at Ammunition Hill in Jerusalem, which was the site of some of the Six Day War’s fiercest battles. During the session the government will vote on a series of motions aimed to develop Jerusalem in terms of tourism, economy and more.

One of the motions is the development of Ammunition Hill at a cost of 20 million shekels.

At 3 p.m. the annual Jerusalem Day march will take place in and around the Old City. Later in the afternoon the Merkaz Harav Yeshiva in Jerusalem will host the main Jerusalem Day celebrations. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, ministers, and members of Knesset are expected to be in attendance.

For the last decade the Fakistinians have tried to destroy any link Jews have to the City of David.  Yet written non-Jewish sources from the Greeks, Romans to the Crusaders and Ottomans, finally to the British have all called Jerusalem the City of David, the City of the Jews.  One can lie about the truth, but the facts dispels the lies.

Jerusalem, the city which Barack Hussein Obama would cut in half to please the Muslim world, will never be divided again.  Too many Jewish lives were given for that to ever happen.


Ofra Haza - Yerushalaim Shel Zahav (Jerusalem of Gold)

Lyrics

The mountain air is clear as water
The scent of pines around
Is carried on the breeze of twilight,
And tinkling bells resound.

The trees and stones there softly slumber,
A dream enfolds them all.
So solitary lies the city,
And at its heart -- a wall.

Oh, Jerusalem of gold, and of light and of bronze,
I am the lute for all your songs.

The wells ran dry of all their water,
Forlorn the market square,
The Temple Mount dark and deserted,
In the Old City there.

And in the caverns in the mountain,
The winds howl to and fro,
And no-one takes the Dead Sea highway,
That leads through Jericho.

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 for ever,
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 out loud.

Within the caverns in the mountains
A thousand suns will glow,
We'll take the Dead Sea road together,
That runs through Jericho.

Oh, Jerusalem of gold, and of light and of bronze,
I am the lute for all your songs.

One City Never To Be Divided Again!!!!    JERUSALEM!!!!
