In the singer/composer’s own words:
My song tribute was inspired by Naomi Shemer’s tremendous talent and the impact of songs like Jerusalem of Gold which have become anthems of the State. So I decided to translate this impact with my own Hebrew lyrics using her original melody, and in my words I have tried to express her tremendous impact on the musical life and culture of the State of Israel. May her memory be blessed. Ben Reuven
