السنة القادمة يا أورشاليم قد حلّت
Hi everyone,
I'm working on a text which is talking about Jews arriving in Israel, and they have been waiting to arrive there for a while. They start singing a song on the airplane which has the line above as one of the lyrics.
I'm not sure of the meaning of the verb حلّت here. Does it mean 'the coming/next year has arrived?'
It's a celebratory song because they've been waiting to come back to the homeland for a while.
Thank you!

That means that they have been waiting for like forever, each time planning to go to jerusalem for the next year and it doesn’t happen. This time, it’s a reality. So the year they have been waiting for while saying « next year » is already here.

"Next year" has arrived
Twice in the Jewish calendar (at the end of the Passover seder and at the end of Yom Kippur), we say "Next year in Jerusalem," expressing a yearning to be back in the homeland. Of course, this applies only to Jewish people in the diaspora, not those who live in Israel.
So all the people on the plane in your story have spent years praying to be in Israel "next year" – and that "next year" is finally here for them. I think the quotation marks are key to express that this is part of a very familiar phrase in Judaism.
