Problematic--

There are a thousand songs about Jerusalem, it's difficult to do this article in English..

You can take an example from List of songs about California, although it's an English-only list. Of course there are a lot of songs about Jerusalem - if there were just a few, I wouldn't have created this article. If you know more songs, please add them. However, make sure that they are actually about Jerusalem. I came across a few with Jerusalem in their title which had nothing to do with the city and what it represented. -- Ynhockey ^(Talk) 11:58, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jewish Prayers and Hymns

I added two sections to the Hebrew language section, Shabbat Zmirot (hymns) and Liturgy. They didn't seem to fit under the preexisting categories. But Prayers are songs too. As mentioned above on this talk page there are indeed many many songs about Jerusalem. I gave a very partial list to begin it. I think that using Psalms COULD be used in the liturgical section as long as they are Psalms that are mentioned in Prayer Books as an actual part of the liturgical service as opposed to Psalms that are just recited for the sake of saying Psalms. However, I think there can be an extensive list just of composed prayers. Valley2city^‽ 23:37, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that there is a place for prayers and religious songs in this list. However, we should be careful about adding new songs—not all songs that mention Jerusalem can be described as being about Jerusalem. For example, I don't think that Lekha Dodi is about Jerusalem, even though it mentions the city prominently. —Ynhockey ^(Talk) 12:53, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
