Naomi Shemer

Naomi Shemer (Hebrew: נׇעֳמִי שֶׁמֶר‎; 13 July 1930 – 26 June 2004) was an Israeli songwriter, composer, and performer, widely described as the "first lady of Israeli song". She became one of the most influential figures in modern Hebrew music, writing numerous songs that became cultural touchstones, most notably "Yerushalayim Shel Zahav" ("Jerusalem of Gold"), which gained prominence after the Six-Day War and is often regarded as a second national anthem. Over a career spanning several decades, Shemer created music for adults and children, contributed to major festivals and cultural events, and became widely recognized for shaping the Israeli songbook.
