L’Shana Haba’ah B’Yerushalayim (Hebrew: לשנה הבאה בירושלים‎), lit. “Next year in Jerusalem“, is a phrase that is often sung at the end of the Passover Seder and at the end of the Ne’ila service on Yom Kippur. Its use during Passover was first recorded by Isaac Tyrnau in his 15th century CE book cataloging the Minhaggim of various Ashkenazi communities.

L’Shana Haba’ah evokes a common theme in Jewish culture of a desire to return to a rebuilt Jerusalem, and commentators have suggested that it serves as a reminder of the experience of living in exile.
