  hatikva
Naphtali Herz Imber was born in 1856 into a Hasidic family.
Tikvatenu, one of Imber’s most popular poems, was first published in 1886, although it had initially been read in public as early as 1882 to a group of farmers in Rishon LeZion who received it enthusiastically.
Naphtali Herz Imber’s words are as old as the Jewish people itself, yet they are also as young as the State of Israel, which took them to its heart.

Imber was a student of the Kabbalah, a study which has now become popular among some American celebrities such as Madonna and Michael Jackson.
Imber was fascinated by the Kabbalah and was the first to establish clubs for the teaching of Kabbalah in Boston and New York.

A young man from Galicia, named Naphtali Herz Imber [1], inspired by the founding of Petah Tikvah in 1878, wrote a poem about his feelings.
The anthem [5] was sung at all subsequent Zionist Congresses, and at the 18th Congress, held in Prague in 1933, it was officially confirmed as the Zionist anthem.

 "Losing ‘Hope’ - Forward.com"
The reason for this substitution, which preserved Imber’s rhyme scheme, was to make it easier to sing these four lines using the Sephardic-style accentual stress of Israeli Hebrew.
Whether one should consider the fact that Israelis sing their national anthem to the accentual stress of Eastern-European Jewry to be a mere oddity or something having deeper meaning is a moot point.
Imber, who died on New York’s Lower East Side in 1909 as a destitute alcoholic, would have derived, I imagine, an ironic satisfaction from the revenge wrought on this tampering with his text.

Now, 118 years after Naphtali Herz Imber published the song "Tikvateinu" ("Our Hope"), the anthem has joined the blue-and-white flag and the menorah symbol, which have been anchored in law for 55 years.
What made the symbolic and solemn event of anchoring "Hatikva" in law into something so secretive and insignificant in the media was the prolonged dying of Palestinian Authority chairman Yasser Arafat.
It is in fact to deputy Knesset Speaker Michael Nudelman, the renegade MK of the National Union Knesset faction, that Naphtali Herz Imber's song owes its official status.

Hatikvah (Hope) - Samuel Cohen (1882) This is the tune of the Israeli National Anthem.
It's origin is not certain, but the words (written by Naphtali Herz Imber) are thought to have been put to music by Samuel Cohen in 1882.
It seems unlikely that the tune was based on the melody of a musical theme found in Bedrich Smetana's "Moldau", or that Imber borrowed the tune from a composition by Cantor Nissan Belzer.

 Chaya Oliver of the Honors College at Florida Atlantic University speaks of "HaTikvah" in Israel.
Upon hearing this I recalled another respondent who had argued that "HaTikvah" should not be the Israeli national anthem because it does not capture the experience of most modern day Israelis.
The words of "HaTikvah" were written by Naphtali Herz Imber, a Galician poet from Bohemia.
The melody was adapted by Samuel Cohen from a Moldavian-Romanian folksong, "The Cart and the Ox." The melody is in a minor key, and thus both the words and the music represent the plaintive wailing of the Eastern European diaspora, rather than the rejoicing of the in-gathering of the exiles.

For those who do not know Hebrew, the song that is sung mid-way through, "HaTikvah" ("The Hope"), became Israel's national anthem and is known to Jews everywhere.
(There is more after the song, so please keep listening even if you don't care to hear the song.) The song was written in 1886 by Naphtali Herz Imber, from Galicia--an area of Poland, from which my family emanated.
It is especially touching to hear these Holocaust survivors sing the song, when many were close to death and had already seen their entire families murdered by the Nazis.

Hatikva: The Hatikvah text was written by the Galician poet Naphtali Herz Imber in Zloczow (Ukraine) in 1878 as a nine- stanza poem named Tikvatenu ("Our Hope").
In 1897, at the First Zionist Congress, it was adopted as the anthem of Zionism ; later it was arranged by the composer Paul Ben-Haim, who based the composition partly on Ukranian Jewish folk tunes.
