Yehudah HaLevi -- Zion! Wilt Thou Not Ask?
2006-06-23 18:01:00 Here's another Yehudah haLevi poem of Zion. Part of this rather long poem, dealing with Hebron , is already up on this site. HaLevi was one of the great poets of Zion of the Middle Ages, if not the greatest. Nina Salaman, in her translation of HaLevi, called this poem as above in the title here.David Goldstein in his translation gave a different title, "Longing for Zion."
