The song, "Jerusalem of Gold", was written in the year 1967 before the Six Day War, when Jerusalem was still divided. A few days after the song was first heard, Jerusalem finally united and the words of the song were changed to reflect this.
This recording is the original made in 1967.
Lyrics
and Music: Naomi Shemer
