The pictures used in this video were taken by me during my visits in Israel between 2011-2016. The purpose of this video is to encourage you to (re)visit Israel and to support the Jewish people in these hard times. If you like it, please feel free to share it.

"Jerusalem of Gold" (Hebrew: ירושלים של זהב‎, Yerushalayim Shel Zahav) is an Israeli song written by Naomi Shemer. It is also the unofficial national anthem of Israel, often contrasted with the secular Hatikva. The original song described the Jewish people's 2,000-year longing to return to Jerusalem; Shemer added a final verse after the Six-Day War to celebrate Jerusalem's re-unification, when Israel had conquered East Jerusalem after this part of the city had been under Jordanian control for 19 years.

The late Israeli singer Ofra Haza sang one of the most popular versions of the song at Pa'amonei HaYovel (Bells of the Jubilee), Israel's 50th Anniversary celebration in 1998.

The song is featured in the 1993 American film Schindler's List and plays near the end of the film. (source: [ Ссылка ]).
