Jerusalem, per Handel's "Messiah" (4)

I believe the answer is:

zion

(Other definitions for zion that I've seen before include "religious community" , "Jewish name for Jerusalem and its holy hill" , "Ancient Jerusalem or its holy hill" , "Jerusalem - heaven" , "The modern Jewish nation" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
