Jerusalem - "Among the nations have I placed her..."

Thus said the Lord, God,  'This is Jerusalem! Among the nations  have I placed her and all around  her are countries. EZEKIEL (5:5) כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְ-הוִה זֹא ת יְרוּשָׁלִַם בְּתוֹ ךְ הַגּוֹיִם שַׂמְתִּיהָ וּסְבִיבוֹתֶיהָ אֲרָצוֹת יחזקאל ה:ה koe ah-MAR ah-doe-NIE eh-loe-HEEM zote ye-roo-sha-la-YEEM be-TOKHE ha-go-YEEM sam-tee-KHA oos-vee-voe-tee-HA ah-ra-TZOTE

Shabbat Inspiration The first Hebrew word most people learn is  “Shalom” שלום - which has three meanings: Hello,  Goodbye and Peace. It is the word with which  friends greet one another, it is how Israelis answer  their phones and begin emails.  But, Shalom is more than a greeting, it is also a blessing.  Peace is the most important gift we can ask from God,  on an individual level, as families and between countries.  It is therefore of most significance, that the world’s  holiest city, Jerusalem - ירושלים - has the word שלום  at its core because it is meant to be the source for  all peace on earth.   Exploring Jerusalem of Gold Watch this quick video on the amazing city of Jerusalem, the home to three of the world's major religions and thriving culture and entertainment.
