• This has been the hope and yearning of the Jewish people ever since, as recorded in the heartfelt words of Israeli national anthem:
• As long as in the heart, within,
• A Jewish soul still yearns,
• And onward, towards the east, eastwards,
• An eye gazes toward Zion;
• Our hope is not yet perished,
• The hope of two thousand years,
• To be a free people in our own land,
• The land of Zion… and Jerusalem
