Next Year Jerusalem in Us
At the end of the Passover Seder we say (or sing) Next Year in Jerusalem! Perhaps what comes to mind is the classic sight of walls and arches, domes and spires against the hilly backdrop of a city sky. The poet Yehuda Amichai shares a different image "Once I sat on the steps by a gate at David’s Tower. I placed my two heavy baskets at my side. A group of tourists was standing around their guide... “You see that man with the baskets? Just right of his head there’s an arch from the Roman period. Just right of his head.”.... I said to myself: “redemption will come only if their guide tells them, ‘You see that arch from the Roman period? It’s not important: but next to it, left down and a bit, there sits a man who’s bought fruit and vegetables for his family.’” (Tourists).
