Redemption Songs Series Shir HaMa’alot - Tehillim; Psalm 122 - Part One ~ ! In poetic, prophetic prose Dovid HaMelech open his heart to enable us to discover the heart of the Jewish World! This Psalm powerfully conveys the uniqueness of our beloved Yerushalayim. Rather than swallowing individuals with her overwhelming presence, she enables each to best experience a personal encounter with G-d. Her Material Metropolis is aligned with Her Heavenly Counterpart. The essence of this extraordinary city is its hosting the Beit HaMikdash (Holy Temple), and consequently The Shechina (manifest presence of G-d) pulsates in every street and stone. As such, even the thought of entering Her Gates can fill every Jewish Heart with Joy! Rabbi Mendel Kaplan
