Succot Nights in Jerusalem, 2007

Succot Nights in Jerusalem 2007

 

A flute’s shadow on the Old City walls,

two guitars, a drum and ethereal melodies;

Hasidic songs played on oud

high on the window ledge within Jaffa Gate.

 

An eclectic blend of keyboard, violins and Indian bells

near ancient olive trees in David’s City

where lights paint the rock-face red

and where figs and lavender lace the air.

 

Jerusalem enchanted.
