Sha-alu Sh'lom Y'rushalayim
I wrote my setting of this text, taken from Psalm 122, verses 6-9, in the summer of 2006. I was attending the North American Jewish Choral Festival up in the Catskills. At the time Lebanon was firing rockets at Israel, and my son was about to leave for Israel to do the Young Judaea Year Course, so the idea of "the Peace of Jerusalem" (and, by extension, the entire State of Israel and all Jewish people worldwide) became a message of great urgency for me.
