Jerusalem

As was decreed for Israel,
The tribes assemble from abroad
With thanks unto the Name of G-d
For there His Holy Presence dwell
The seats for judgment are therein.
The thrones of David's royal kin
There sit the rulers of the nation
Prosperity be unto them
That love you O Jerusalem
Who makes your peace their supplication.

Let peace be found within your walls
And in your palaces repose
May blessings be conferred on those
Who dwell within you favoured halls
For firends and brethren I would say
Let peace abide in you for aye
May nought disturb you now or ever
By reason of G-d's temple fair
and for the mercy proffered there
I will invoke your good forever.

In 1991, I was staying in TZFAT when unexpectedly my young bride and myself were asked if we'd like to replace a couple RUSSIANS on a tour bus going to the KOTEL in YERUSHALAYIM. We didn't hesitate a minute and when we soon arrived there and walked down the ramp to go to the KOTEL, I sensed something like the air was scintillating with an invisible fire, raising everything in it's midst. CHABAD came to me and immediately had me wrapped up in TEFILLIN, then sent me to the wall to daven. I have never had a more profound sense of HOLINESS than at that time. YERUSHALAYIM SHEL ZAHAV.

I miss You Jerusalem! Next year...

The video clip proves how G-d is preserving Jerusalem and the Jewish people.

I am a Filipino and I love Israel and its people. Many nations tried in the past to conquer and blot out Israel from the map of the world but they all FAILED!! This time, nations again are trying to agree to divide Jerusalem into two--one part for the Palestinians and the other part for Israel. BUT THEY WILL FAIL. How could they succeed against the omnipotent G-d? Jerusalem will remain the holy city of Israel alone.

I have always mistaken Jerusalem for the City(העיר) of Peace.
Now from your video I know that it stands for God sees.

תודה

I have learned something listening to this brief vid clip and wept with these people. I am in dire need to learn more...my soul is hungry!

I am BLESSED everytime I come to visit you all at chabad...Thank You...Shalom

"Less than a decade later.."?! Should say "Less than a CENTURY later"!!

The clip (which was beautifully done) says that Noah built an Altar to the Lord there.
I have a problem with that due to the fact the Ark rested on Mt. Ararat, in Turkey.
