The story behind it
For the one who just came home from Jerusalem.
She came back with dust on her sandals, a phone full of photos of the Old City, and a hard time explaining what it felt like to stand there.
This piece says it for her, in words Jews have carried for more than two thousand years: if I forget thee, O Jerusalem. Cut in black metal, it hangs by her desk or her door. It keeps the trip close long after the photos stop coming up on her phone.
So Jerusalem is never far from you. May you always remember it, and always find your way back.

About this piece
This Jerusalem wall art cuts Psalm 137:5 in Hebrew letters from matte black metal, sized for an entryway or a study. Simple and graphic, it keeps one of the oldest Jewish promises in plain sight: if I forget thee, O Jerusalem.
What it means
The Hebrew reads אם אשכחך ירושלים תשכח ימיני, im eshkachech Yerushalayim, tishkach yemini: if I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. It is the vow of the exiles in Babylon, still sung at many Jewish weddings. Jewish prayer faces Jerusalem, wherever you are.
