Naomi Semer was born on Kvutzat Kinneret, a kibbutz her parents had helped found, on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. In the 1950s she served in the Israeli Defense Force's Nahal entertainment troupe, and studied music at the Rubin Academy in Jerusalem.
Songwriting career Shemer did her own songwriting and composing, set famous poems to music, such as those of the Israeli poet, Rachel, and adapted well-known songs into Hebrew, such as the Beatles songs "Let It Be."
She composed in 1963 Hurshat Ha'Eucalyptus (The Eucalyptus Grove), a song that evokes Kvutzat Kinneret where she was born, and sung in a recent version by Ishtar.
In 1967, she wrote the famous patriotic song Yerushalayim Shel Zahav, sung by Shuly Nathan. Inspired by the Basque lullabye Pello Joxepe (something Shemer admitted to later on), it was originally for the Israeli Music Festival, and she added another verse after the Six-Day War that year.
