Attractively produced and profusely illustrated, this handy-sized volume offers essential reading for those seeking reasons for Jerusalem's capacity to arouse fever-pitch emotions among all involved, even peripherally, in its troubled and turbulent history. From biblical texts through Second-Temple and medieval literature to Jewish fictional and factual writings of more recent times, the anthology cannot but touch the nerve in its endeavour to explain why, perhaps more than any other city, Jerusalem is regarded as the spiritual centre of the universe, prompting the Psalmist to declare (137:5): "If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its cunning." --Meir Persoff
