Oomis, I’m with you. Gunther’s moves me for personal reasons, but Yerushalayim Shel Zahav puts me over the top, especially with the memory of newsreel I saw of soldiers running to the Kosel after the Six Day War, then dancing and singing this song. Got to tell you, I’m crying just typing this. (And Yehoram Gaon… hasn’t “made” teshuva yet as far as I know but about ten years ago I read a transcription in Yated of a monologue in his show. At least at that point, you could see that Sephardi purity and inner connection to authenticity; one can cry over his songs in complete good conscience IMO.)
