Today’s verse from King David reveals the ultimate desire of all God-loving
people in the world for peace, Shalom, שלום. It is the most important gift we
can ask from God, on an individual level, as families and between countries. It
is therefore of most significance, that the world’s holiest city, Jerusalem -
ירושלים - has the word שלום at its core because it is meant to be the source for
all peace on earth.
