Today we will open up Nevi’im and see where the city is first called by its name, Jerusalem. We will examine the early years of B’nai Yisrael in Eretz Yisrael and their relationship to the city, and we will close with a sneak peak at David Hamelech and the establishment of Jerusalem as our capitol. Looking forward, Aviva
