Im Eshkacheich Yerushalayim is a famous verse from Psalms that is typically sung at weddings and in the blessing after meals. These words describe the longing of the Jewish People for Israel and its capitol, the holy city of Jerusalem. Sam included this song on his The Promise album, a thirteen song tribute to the Promise Land. He wrote it on the saddest day of the Jewish calendar, Tisha B'av, the 9th of Av, when Jews fast and pray for redemption and the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem.
