If I forget you, O Yerushalayim, let my right hand wither Psalms 137:5 (The Israel Bible™) אִם אֶשְׁכָּחֵךְ יְרוּשָׁלִָם תִּשְׁכַּח יְמִינִי Hear the verse in Hebrew im esh-ka-KHAYKH y’-ru-sha-LA-im tish-KAKH y’-mee-NEE   Honor Jerusalem in Your Home Psalm 137 was written by the rivers of Babylon, where the exiled Jews wailed and lamented the destruction of the Beit Hamikdash (Holy Temple). They wondered how they would continue to endure on foreign soil. How could they sing the songs of Hashem (God), which were supposed to be sung in the Temple, there? Their answer was an oath to never forget Yerushalayim (Jerusalem). This psalm makes an oblique reference to Deuteronomy 8:19, “If you do forget Hashem your God and follow other gods to serve them or bow down to them, I warn you this day that you shall certainly perish.” Israel’s exile came when they forgot God in their land. In Babylon, they promised themselves to never repeat that mistake, and to never forget Yerushalayim. Today, this psalm is recited at Jewish weddings just before the groom breaks a glass, ensuring that Jerusalem is always at the forefront of our minds and reminding us that no joyous occasion is complete until Yerushalayim is restored to its former glory.

Relive the Miracles of 1967! ✡ "If I Forget Thee, O Jerusalem" - ISRAEL365

If I forget thee O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its cunning. Psalms 137:5 (The Israel Bible™) אִם אֶשְׁכָּחֵךְ יְרוּשָׁלִָם תִּשְׁכַּח יְמִינִי תהילים קלז:ה im esh-ka-khaykh y'-ru-sha-la-yim tish-kakh y'-mee-nee

Shabbat Inspiration “We didn’t declare Jerusalem to be our capital city” former Prime Minister Menachem Begin would often say, “King David declared it 3,000 years ago! While Jerusalem and Zion are mentioned over 800 times in the Jewish Bible, the holy city is not mentioned even once in the Koran.” Nearly 50 years ago, Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria was once again brought under Jewish rule after 2,000 years of falling to foreign hands, an event regarded not only as extraordinary, but downright miraculous. Next month, Israel365 will be celebrating the golden jubilee anniversary since the reunification of the Land of Israel with a fantastic Gala Dinner in the heart of the holy city.
