On the cover:
יְפֵה נוֹף מְשׂוֹשׂ תֵּבֵל קִרְיָה לְמֶלֶךְ רָב
לָךְ נִכְסְפָה נַפְשִׁי מִפַּאֲתֵי מַעְרָב
הֲמוֹן רַחֲמַי נִכְמָר כִּי אֶזְכְּרָה קֶדֶם
כְּבוֹדֵךְ אֲשֶׁר גָּלָה וְנָוֵךְ אֲשֶׁר חָרָב
וּמִי יִתְּנֵנִי עַל כַּנְפֵי נְשָׁרִים, עַד
אֲרַוֶּה בְדִמְעָתִי עֲפָרֵך וְיִתְעָרָב
דְּרַשְׁתִּיךְ, וְאִם מַלְכֵּךְ אֵין בָּךְ וְאִם בִּמְקוֹם
צְרִי גִּלְעֲדֵך - נָחָשׁ שָׂרָף וְגַם עַקְרָב
הֲלֹא אֶת אֲבָנַיִךְ אֲחוֹנֵן וְאֶשָּׁקֵם
וְטַעַם רְגָבַיִךְ לְפִי מִדְּבַשׁ יֶעְרָב

(יהודה הלוי)

Comments:
The tiles in Entin Square, which is located at the entrance to Tel Aviv University, include covertions and comments by scientists and other intellectuals.

On the current tile is the poem by the poet and philosopher Yehuda Halevy - about his dream of reaching Jerusalem

Three months earlier, the tiles were photographed in the same square. During the photograph, it was discovered that a number of tiles had been removed and replaced by other tiles. The current tile replaced another tile

Translation of the text on the cover:
Yefe Nof, the joy of the world, the borough of a great king.
I longed for you from the west!
A great deal of pity was felt for remembering the east,
Your glory, which is revealed, and your place that is destroyed.
And who will put me on the wings of eagles,
Until I filled your ground with tears!
I have demanded you, and if your kingship is not in you or in the place
Your shadow is a serpent and a scorpion.
I will take your stones and restore them
And the taste of your colds of earth will be sweeter than honey!
(Yehuda Halevi)
