Shuli Natan

Shuli Natan (Hebrew: שולי נתן "Shuli Natan"; anglicized: Shuly Nathan, born 1947) is an Israeli singer best known for singing "Jerusalem of Gold" (Yerushalayim Shel Zahav), written by Naomi Shemer. It was immensely popular right after the Six-Day War and made her world famous. It is still very popular in Israel and in Jewish communities world-wide.

Her recent albums feature Israeli songs, works of Shlomo Carlebach and songs from Judaism. She gives concerts in Israel and internationally and is in some ways the "Joan Baez" of Israel.Since she first electrified Israel with her heartfelt rendition of the then unknown song, Jerusalem of Gold, Shuly Nathan has sung of the hope and the pain of the nation.

Since her historic performance in 1967, Shuli Natan has performed for countless audiences, in Israel and worldwide. Her unique voice holds the listeners in its spell, and every performance turns into a spontaneous sing-along.

Natan accompanies herself on the guitar, as she sings Israeli songs, folk songs from around the world, Hassidic and Yiddish songs and songs of the Oriental Jewish community. Natan sings in different languages including Hebrew, English, French, Ladino and Spanish.
