By Rabbi Yehuda Halevi, of the 12th century
The legend tells how Rabbi Yehuda longed his entire life to come to the Holy Land. This poem expresses that yearning. Eventually, he made it to Jerusalem, and as he kissed the dust of the Holy City, he was trampled to death by an Arab horseman. His yearning and prayers certainly helped us gain our homeland back.
