The Katedra Trip from Little Shimon and Moiz to the Legend of Rabbi Shalom Shabazi – A Singing Tour Following the Songs of Jerusalem

From Shimon and Moshe the Little to the Legend of Rabbi Shalom Shabazi – A Singing Tour Following Jerusalem’s Songs

Guide: Yonatan Ashkenazi. Accordionist: Uzi Rosenblatt | May 5, 2027

A singing tour in honor of Jerusalem Day, accompanied by an accordionist, following the songs and stories that have become an inseparable part of the city’s character.

Throughout the day, we will meet the people, places, and stories that inspired some of Jerusalem’s beloved songs. We will get to know Shimon and Moshe the Little, childhood friends of Yossi Banai, immortalized in his songs, and Avraham Sormelo, the Jerusalem storyteller who so vividly described the city’s character and people. We will continue to the hidden places on Mount Scopus and hear the story of the unit that guarded the mountain for twenty years. We will visit a synagogue with a breathtaking view of the Old City and sing “Jerusalem of Gold,” “Jerusalem of Peace,” and songs from the Six-Day War. From there, we will continue to the Jewish Quarter, following Dan Almagor’s song “This Is Jerusalem,” and discover the stories behind the figures in the song.

We will end the day at the Western Wall with the legend of Rabbi Shalom Shabazi. We will learn about the greatest poet of Yemenite Jewry, whose songs expressing his longing for Jerusalem have accompanied many generations, and conclude with “A Song of Ascents” and free time among the stones of the Western Wall.
