יום ירושלים שמח
yom ye-roo-sha-'la-yeem sa-'me-akh
Happy Jerusalem Day

I grew up an hour away and it always felt like a different country.

The stone everywhere. The winding streets I never figured out how to navigate. The people, the sounds, the slang that wasn't quite mine. Every visit felt like landing somewhere ancient and alive at the same time.

Tel Aviv is home. Jerusalem is something else entirely.

The city where history didn't end. Where three religions pray, sing, and ache for the same stones. And where even an Israeli can feel like a tourist.

There is no city like it in the world.

💙🇮🇱

#jerusalem #jerusalemcity #JerusalemDay

As we approach Jerusalem Day this Wednesday, let’s reflect on a verse that captures the essence of our connection to Jerusalem:

"If I forget you, Jerusalem..." is how this powerful declaration starts.

We say the complete verse in Jewish weddings just before the groom breaks the glass — a symbol of joy mingled with our historical sorrows;

A testament to the enduring bond between the Jewish people and their holy city;

A promise of remembrance and devotion that has echoed through the ages.

This Sunday’s email will be dedicated to Jerusalem, and as part of it - I will dive into the full verse, exploring its significance and teaching it in Hebrew.

Here's to you, Jerusalem! 🥂
