"Neomi Shemer": There is a redirection to Naomi Shemer.

merge

 * merge into Jerusalem of Gold (song) - the JofG(song) article is clean and titled properly for english wikiedia. The Yerushalayim Shel Zahav article needs cleanup, format, and is perhaps filled with OR as well as false information. A new article should not have been started, certainly the old article not turned into a redirect. --Shuki 23:50, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge into this (the older) article, regardless of what the new title will be. gidonb 23:52, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
 * speedy merge This should be merged. When I created it, I did not realize there was an old article. This is defintently the better article, and is 100% correct (I have verified it, and my family does a thing with it at Passover every year) so, merge the old one into this, doesn't matter what the title is.

 * Merge completed. I left out the WP:OR translation. --Shuki 22:10, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

copyright infringement
Putting the entire lyrics of the song in the article is copyright infringement, and in particular with Shemer's songs, as they are not allowed anywhere on the Internet. DMTsurel 09:44, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Are you sure? You can find it on a lot of sites. Also, the Spanish version of this article contains the Hebrew lyrics. 68.199.172.15 (talk) 00:38, 23 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, wide availability on the internet doesn't indicate that the lyrics are legal. :/ We need to be able to verify that the lyrics have fallen into the public domain before we are able to use them. I've removed them in accordance with copyright policy pending some information to suggest that they (including the English translation) are copyright expired. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 02:36, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Written before or after the war?
According to the IMDb trivia page for Schindler's List, this song was written after the war:

"The film, as shown in most countries, had the song "Yerushalayim Sheol Zahav" - Jerusalem of Gold - at the end. When the film was shown in Israel, audiences laughed at this, as this song was written after the 1967 war as a pop song. They then re-dubbed a song "Eli Eli" which was written by Hannah Sennesh during WWII over the end which was more appropriate."

According to the WIkipedia article, the song was written three weeks before the war. Which is correct?Axeman (talk) 21:19, 6 December 2009 (UTC)


 * The original song was written before the war. Indeed, Naomi Shemer sang it for the troops and it served as kind of battle anthem. The confusion is probably due to the fact that she added to the song after the liberation of Jerusalem, so the song in its final form did not come into existence until after the war.Bill (talk) 00:37, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

"The Unofficial National Anthem"?
The article says "It is also the unofficial national anthem of Israel". I think it is *an* unofficial anthem, but not *the* unofficial national anthem. I think the claim is too strong and should be mellowed down for accuracy. 142.254.1.34 (talk) 00:25, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
