Early Days of Israel - Song

Join us for a special morning celebrating the remarkable legacy of Naomi Shemer, one of Israel’s most beloved songwriters, composers and poets. Together, we’ll explore some of her most cherished songs and discover how her music offers a unique window into Israel’s history, culture and values.

Through timeless classics like Jerusalem of Gold (Yerushalayim Shel Zahav), Lu Yehi (Let It Be), Al Kol Eleh (For All These Things) and The Eucalyptus Grove, Naomi Shemer captured the beauty of Israel’s landscapes, the spirit of its people and the defining moments that shaped the nation. Her songs have accompanied generations of Israelis through celebration, remembrance, resilience and hope, making her one of the most influential voices in Israeli cultural history.
