Yerushalayim Shel Zahav
Today the big girl came with me to work. She enjoys the busses and today was extra special. There is a man who hands out herbs for people to smell. One day it will be mint, the next rosemary. Today he was giving out basil. My big one asked me why, and I said because it made people feel good. We enjoyed watching him while we were on the bus.
On the second bus, we managed to be at the Bell Mall at 8:00 when the bells ring. This morning the song was “Yerushalayim shel Zahav.” Well, big girl knows the words (sort of), so it inspired her to start singing. Everyone enjoyed the concert–especially the bus driver, who stopped at a red light, got out of his seat and asked her to sing some more.
In times like these everyone could use a little cheer.
Note: People keep finding this site while trying to find the lyrics. Here is the link for you.
You know, it’s those ‘only in Israel’ moments that makes you glad to be living where you are…
