LOVE OF JERUSALEM

Na'ale papercut

Hebrew

 

Through a window, a scene of the Old City of Jerusalem is revealed.

The Hebrew words at the bottom, highlighted by a gold background,  read: Let us elevate Jerusalem above our foremost joy. This saying is a paraphrase of the verse from Psalms (137,6) "Let my tongue adhere to my palate if I fail to recall you, if I fail to elevate Jerusalem above my foremost joy". It often appears on invitations for traditional Jewish weddings. This is an age-old promise to never forget the ancient, beautiful Jerusalem that was destroyed - even at times of joy.
