Me'al Pisgat Har Hatzofim - Ofra Haza

Me'al Pisgat Har Hatzofim (From The Summit Of Mount Scopus) - Ofra Haza on the Dan Shilon Show with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Former Israeli Prime Minister and President Shimon Peres z"l (1923-2016) and Former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir z"l (1915-2012); 1998. Host/Presenter Dan Shilon introduces the song as 'Me'al Migdal Har Hatzofim' ('From The Tower Of Mount Scopus').
Mount Scopus looks down on Jerusalem from the Eastern ridge across the Mount of Olives.
For almost 2,000 years the Jewish people yearned for Jerusalem from their exile in the Diaspora.
Even after the establishment of the modern State of Israel, the Old City with its holy Jewish sites of the Temple Mount, the Kotel - the outer Western Wall of the sanctuary - and Mount Scopus itself, were beyond reach, under Jordanian dominion.
Mount Scopus was the site of the original Hadassah Hospital and part of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem that became an embattled enclave during the war of Israel's Independence, with the medical staff undergoing a long siege, during which many convoys tried to reach it despite suffering heavy casualties.
From 1949-1967, it survived as an Israeli enclave in Jordanian territory, supplied by weekly convoys that reached it under UN protection via the Mamilla gate in the wall that separated modern West Jerusalem from East Jerusalem.
This song reflects the special place Mount Scopus held in people's hearts, and the language reflects the Jewish people's traditional expressions of yearning for peace, the holy sanctuary, and the peace of Jerusalem.
Many biblical songs about Jerusalem have been set to music by modern Israeli composers, but there are also modern classics from the 1960s and from after the Six Day War in 1967 - of which this song is one of the best-known and best-loved.

From the summit of Mount Scopus
I will prostrate myself to you
From the summit of Mount Scopus
O Jerusalem, peace unto you
For a hundred generations I have dreamt of you
To merit and behold the light of your countenance
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Light up your face to your son
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
From your ruins will I build you
From the summit of Mount Scopus
O Jerusalem, peace unto you
Thousands of exiles around the world
Raise up their eyes to you
In thousands of blessings may you be blessed
Kingly sanctuary, royal city
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
I shall not move away
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
The Messiah will surely come, one day

Voz de Ofra sencillamente conmovía a quien la escuchara, fue un regalo su voz y presencia, Dios la tenga en su seno❤

[@zehavaholtzman1559]

The best singer ever that was in Israel!!! We miss you Ofra!

[@אוהדאריאליופה]

[@jacobfeuerwerker5498]

Most miss her terribly. She was among the greatest & a wonderful human being. But Geula Gill was the best female singer Israel ever produced. She was active from at least 1946 - 2015. She recorded over 3000 songs in 70 languages & her songs are still used for dance instruction. Till 120 dearest Geula. Dganit Daddo; who's still active is also much more talented than the late Ofra. Who's real nam e is Bat Sheva Hazan.

The round of applause after the opening phrase indicated the reverence the Israelis have for Mount Scobus (Roman name) or Har Hatzofim (Hebrew). This vantage point overlooking Jerusalem is the best view of the city.
