The catalogue holds three Jerusalem works: Im Eshkachech Yerushalayim, Jerusalem Dove of Peace and the Western Wall. The common living room sizes are 80x120 cm (about ₪1,290 in canvas, ₪1,725 on glass) and 100x150 cm (about ₪1,540 against ₪2,330). All are printed in Beit Shemesh by SRC Collection. This page covers where the verse comes from and why it appears in so many Israeli homes, the three works with a place, size and material for each, where in the home they actually hang, how glass and canvas differ for Hebrew typography and Jerusalem stone, and how to order.
"If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill" is a verse from Psalm 137, part of a psalm spoken from the perspective of exiles sitting by the rivers of Babylon and remembering Jerusalem. It is one of the best known verses in Hebrew, and it appears at weddings, at ceremonies and in private homes alike. It works well as wall art because it is short, familiar to everyone, and carries a broad meaning that does not belong to any single stream. In a designed piece it usually appears in one of two ways: as typography that is itself the subject, or as text set within an image of the city. Our catalogue has both directions, alongside two further Jerusalem works - Jerusalem Dove of Peace and the Western Wall. More blessing art → guide.
The table gives each of the three works two common scenarios: the place in the home, the size that suits it and the material we recommend there. The logic is simple - a focal wall in a living room or a synagogue calls for a large size on tempered glass, which gives depth and presence, while an entrance hall, a prayer corner or a gift calls for a medium size on canvas, quieter and free of reflections. All the works are available in every catalogue size, from 20x30 to 150x200 cm, in both materials, and the exact price appears on each product page. If you are unsure about size, upload a photo of the wall to the preview tool. Size above a sofa → guide.
| Work | Where in the home | Size | Material |
|---|---|---|---|
| Im Eshkachech Yerushalayim | Living room, focal wall | 80x120 cm | Tempered glass |
| Im Eshkachech Yerushalayim | Entrance or prayer corner | 50x70 cm | Canvas |
| Jerusalem Dove of Peace | Bedroom or office | 60x90 cm | Canvas |
| The Western Wall | Living room or synagogue | 100x150 cm | Tempered glass |
| The Western Wall | Study corner or gift | 40x60 cm | Canvas |
Four places work, based on what we actually see. The first is the focal living room wall above the sofa, where the piece is the centre of attention and its width should reach about two thirds of the sofa - 150 to 160 cm above a 240 cm sofa. The second is the entrance hall: a narrow wall, a vertical format, 50x70 or 60x90 cm, and the piece is the first thing anyone sees. The third is above the dining or Shabbat table, where tempered glass is preferable because of cleaning. The fourth is a prayer or study corner, viewed from close range, where a smaller size and the matt texture of canvas sit more comfortably with the eye. The constant rule: the centre of the piece 145 to 150 cm from the floor.
With this subject the difference between the materials is unusually clear. Tempered glass sharpens edges, so Hebrew letters - especially in a designed typeface with fine strokes - come out clean and crisp on it. It also deepens shadows, which is exactly what gives Jerusalem stone its texture and golden tone; on the Western Wall piece the difference is obvious. Canvas does the opposite: the matt weave softens the text and brings it closer to the look of paper or cloth, giving a warmer, quieter result that suits a living room with wood and a prayer corner where reflections are unwelcome. Price difference at 80x120 cm: about ₪1,290 in canvas against ₪1,725 on glass. Full comparison → guide.

"If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill" appears in Psalm 137, part of a psalm spoken from the perspective of exiles by the rivers of Babylon remembering Jerusalem. It is one of the best known verses in Hebrew and appears at weddings, at ceremonies and in private homes.
Three: Im Eshkachech Yerushalayim, Jerusalem Dove of Peace and the Western Wall. All are available in both materials - tempered glass and gallery-wrapped canvas - and in every catalogue size from 20x30 cm up to 150x200 cm, with custom sizes available on request.
Above a two-seater sofa, 80x120 cm - about ₪1,290 in canvas and ₪1,725 on tempered glass. Above a three-seater, 100x150 cm at about ₪1,540 against ₪2,330. The rule is a width of roughly two thirds of the sofa, with the centre of the piece 145 to 150 cm from the floor.
Tempered glass sharpens edges, so a designed Hebrew typeface comes out clean and crisp, and it deepens the texture of Jerusalem stone. Canvas softens the text toward the look of paper and produces no reflections - a comfortable choice for a prayer corner or a living room with wood.
Four places work: the focal living room wall above the sofa, the entrance hall in a vertical format, above the dining table where glass is preferable for cleaning, and a prayer or study corner where a smaller size and matt canvas sit better. Always centre it 145 to 150 cm from the floor.
