[HANASHIR:9264] Re: English lyrics for Yerushalayim Shel Zahav

[Adrian Durlester <durleste...>]

Joel and all subscribers, old and new to Hanashir-a reminder:

Please do not post unattributed lyrics (*or in this case, translations)to
the Hanashir list. We maintain fair observance of both the Talmudic and
modern Copyright Law precepts on Hanashir, and ask that all citations,
quotations, lyrics and similar references on the list be properly
attributed.

In this case, there should have been a credit to both the author of the
English lyrics, and to Naomi Shemer for the Hebrew.
