    HaTikvah

     ("The  Hope")  
    Israel's  National  Anthem  
     
    The  words  to  Israel's  national  anthem  were  written  in  1886  by  Naphtali  
    Herz  Imber,  an  English  poet  originally  from  Bohemia.  The  melody  was  
    written  by  Samuel  Cohen,  an  immigrant  from  Moldavia.  Cohen  actually  
    based  the  melody  on  a  musical  theme  found  in  Bedrich  Smetana’s  
    "Moldau."  
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Kol  ode  balevav  p'nimah  -­‐    
    Nefesh  Yehudi  homiyah  
     
    Ulfa'atey  mizrach  kadimah  
    Ayin  l'tzion  tzofiyah.  
     
    Ode  lo  avdah  tikvatenu  
    Hatikvah  bat  shnot  alpayim:  
     
    L'hiyot  am  chofshi  b'artzenu  -­‐  
    Eretz  Tzion  v'Yerushalayim.  
     
     
     
    English  translation:  
     
    As  long  as  the  Jewish  spirit  is  yearning  deep  in  the  heart,  
    With  eyes  turned  toward  the  East,  looking  toward  Zion,  
    Then  our  hope  -­‐  the  two-­‐thousand-­‐year-­‐old  hope  -­‐  will  not  be  lost:  
    To  be  a  free  people  in  our  land,  
    The  land  of  Zion  and  Jerusalem.
