Hatikvah
national anthem of Israel / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Hatikvah" (Hebrew: התקוה, say: hah-tik-VAH, meaning "The Hope") is a Jewish folk song that is the national anthem of Israel. The words of the song were written by Naftali Herz Imber in 1877, and about a decade later, his words were put to music by Shmuel Cohen. The words of the song are based on a longer poem written by Imber himself.[1][2][3]
