My love song to Jerusalem by Mordechai Schiller

 In June 1967, I sat in a makeshift bomb shelter in Talpiot, Jerusalem, listening to mortar shells whiz overhead and explode all around us.

A few days later, on the holiday of Shavuos, I stood in awe by the Western Wall.

Nothing would ever be the same again.

One day, I was walking along the street in Jerusalem and the first line of this song came to me. Later that night, I wrote the rest. You can listen to the song or download it (free) here.
