Just found a possible Hebrew pronunciation of "Jerusalem." Apparently, there are two ways to pronounce that name, and one of them appears in a song here:
http://www.hebrewsongs.com/?SongID=2541
They sing "Lashanah haba'ah Biy'rushalaim"
However, it looks like the B in front of "Iy'rushalaim" is the prefix of some kind to indicate "in Jerusalem."
I went to Ask.com, and they, just like the Wiki, state that Hebrew pronunciation is "Yerushaláyim" (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080713093034AAjvMfU) . The readers' comments in that section seem to confirm the spelling, but the stress that I hear being placed on the "Je-rOO-ShalaYIm" in the song is said to be placed just on the JerOO portion of the name.... I will go ahead with the song's spelling "Iy'rushalaim" and emphasis for now.
