Seventy Names of Jerusalem
Hebrew papercut
The Jewish People has always felt great love
and honor for Jerusalem.
These emotions were expressed in various ways. One of them is the many names
by which Jerusalem is called in Biblical and post-Biblical literature. The
majority of the names in this papercut are mentioned in Midrash Zuta Song of
Songs, 1. They are engraved into the frame that surrounds Jerusalem and the
hills and mountains around her. A gold background highlights the names, as
well as the Hebrew words "Seventy names of Jerusalem" at the top center.
