00:00:02.340 --> 00:00:05.550 align:middle line:84%
This next poem--
you probably all

00:00:05.550 --> 00:00:10.620 align:middle line:84%
know that Jerusalem has
no sea and no river,

00:00:10.620 --> 00:00:15.090 align:middle line:90%
which we all miss very much.

00:00:15.090 --> 00:00:17.310 align:middle line:90%
But we have the desert right--

00:00:17.310 --> 00:00:18.420 align:middle line:90%
this city.

00:00:18.420 --> 00:00:20.790 align:middle line:84%
And, sometimes, if you
overlook the desert,

00:00:20.790 --> 00:00:22.620 align:middle line:90%
it really looks like waves.

00:00:22.620 --> 00:00:26.480 align:middle line:90%


00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:30.050 align:middle line:84%
"Jerusalem-- port
city on the shores

00:00:30.050 --> 00:00:35.990 align:middle line:84%
of eternity, the holy mount is a
huge ship, a luxurious pleasure

00:00:35.990 --> 00:00:37.220 align:middle line:90%
liner.

00:00:37.220 --> 00:00:42.770 align:middle line:84%
From the port holds of a western
wall, happy saints look out.

00:00:42.770 --> 00:00:47.480 align:middle line:84%
Travelers, Hasidim on
the dock, wave goodbye,

00:00:47.480 --> 00:00:50.580 align:middle line:84%
shout hurrah, till
we meet again.

00:00:50.580 --> 00:00:54.620 align:middle line:84%
She's always arriving,
always sailing.

00:00:54.620 --> 00:00:58.040 align:middle line:84%
And the gates and
policemen and flags

00:00:58.040 --> 00:01:01.640 align:middle line:84%
and high masts of
churches and mosques

00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:04.489 align:middle line:84%
and the smokestacks
of synagogues

00:01:04.489 --> 00:01:09.380 align:middle line:84%
and the boats of praise
and waves of mountains.

00:01:09.380 --> 00:01:15.740 align:middle line:84%
The sound of sirens horn is
heard still another sailed.

00:01:15.740 --> 00:01:19.580 align:middle line:84%
Day of atonement sailors
in white uniforms

00:01:19.580 --> 00:01:25.610 align:middle line:84%
climbed among letters and
robes of seasoned prayers

00:01:25.610 --> 00:01:30.380 align:middle line:84%
and to trade at the
gates and the gold domes.

00:01:30.380 --> 00:01:35.170 align:middle line:90%
Jerusalem is a Venice of God."
