Short girl from Jerusalem (3)

I believe the answer is:

sal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'short girl' is the definition.
'Sal' can be an answer for 'girl' (feminine given name). I am not sure about the 'short' bit.

'from jerusalem' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'SAL' is hidden in the letters of 'jerusalem'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sal that I've seen before include "- - volatile" , "girl?" , "Sarah (dim.)" .)
