Ps 137:5-6
If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill! If I do not remember you, let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth-- if I do not exalt Jerusalem above my chief joy.

A brief history of the Hebrew language and a simple learning tool that quickly teaches you how to read and write Biblical and modern Hebrew. This is especially helpful if you use Lexicons and Commentaries. Learn about the vowel signs, the 22 consonants, pronunciation, Gematria (numbers), familiar Hebrew names, etc.

THE LORD'S PRAYER IN HEBREW. Hebrew is written, and read, from right to left. In ancient times inscriptions were engraved on stone tablets (as with the Ten Commandments and the Moabite stone). The reason might be because they held the hammer in the right hand and the chisel in the left and chiseled from right to left. There may be other explanations, but this one seems very probable.

JERUSALEM
"Of the 10 measures of beauty that God hath bestowed upon the world, nine of these fall to the lot of Jerusalem." -The Talmud

"Erets Yisrael is the navel of the world, and Jerusalem is its center, and the Bet ha Mikdash is at the center of Jerusalem, and the Holy of Holies is at its center, and the Holy Ark is at the center of the Holy of holies, and in front of it is the Foundation Stone on which the world was founded." -The Midrash

"No people blessed as thine, no city like Jerusalem" -Christian Hymn

"One prayer in Jerusalem is worth 40,000 elsewhere." -Islamic Saying

"A city, the fame of which has gone out from one end of the world to the other." -The Talmud

"Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in His holy mountain. Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion on the sides of the north, the city of the great King." -Ps 48:1-2

"At that time Jerusalem shall be called The Throne of the LORD, and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem. No more shall they follow the dictates of their evil hearts." -Jer 3:17

"Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; he is just and having salvation, lowly and riding on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey.
