- Hatikvah - But is it hope for all?
On this week's History of Israel Explained, we’re looking at one of the most Israeli things out there - HaTikvah, or The Hope - Israel’s stirring, meaningful and, some might say, controversial national anthem.
Unlike other anthems that speak of triumph and victory, the Israeli anthem is a mash up between a Romanian folk-melody, a 16th-century Italian song, and the lyrical thoughts of a drunk romantic poet. Not exactly the stuff of nationalistic dreams, but like the State of Israel itself, Hatikvah is both a symbol of Jewish hope and identity and the anthem for a multicultural and multi-ethnic state dedicated to equality.
Whew, that’s a lot of pressure for a two-verse song.
So what exactly is so controversial about this hopeful song and why do some Israelis refuse to stand up when it’s played (which can be a controversy all of its own)?
Let us know what you think about Hatikvah, the role of anthems in general or any of the other topics we’ve discussed on History of Israel Explained.

Israel's anthem is one of very few that can so easily move to tears. It's so heartfelt how one can one not feel the Jewish people's desire to be back in their homeland. So beautiful. Shalom.
This Iranian jew and a great many like me we adore, stand , sing and tear up every time we hear Hatikvah. Lyrics are that just lyric. Hatikvah is about charachter of the song which is a lot more important than the lyrics.
Exactly!!!!!! We ALL jews feel it in our Jewish soul!!! I’m sure most Jews never even thought about its background until this video. Never change it!!! It is OUR anthem!!!
Persian Jew here too, Hatikvah is up there for me with Ey Iran
I'm not Jewish or Middle Eastern but I connect so deeply with this anthem.❤🇮🇱
I agree with you.... I'm sure we are not the only ones. Great People of Israel....
My respect and admiration to You
Don’t worry most Israelis aren’t Middle Eastern either

One of the most beautiful national anthems that you could ever hope to hear and with a deep and ancient meaning. I am an American but feel a sense of pride when I hear this song. And yes, I am also a fan of Jerusalem of Gold.
Actually, it is a 17th century Italian song, La Mantovana,
@@marcomiotto101 Uh, huh. And Smetana used the same theme in the Moldau. And the American national anthem was originally a British drinking song. So what?
I'm a Nigerian, and I'm a Christian. But I connect with this anthem so much. The hope and the yearning to restore that which once was. I connect with the Hatikvah on every level and it's so inspiring.
I'm also Nigerian and we connect because we're Christians. Long before HaTikvah was written, us Christians would go on pilgrimage to the Holy Land, but for Muslim Arabs whose families have been in Israel since the 600s AD, it's hard to connect to a song written from a European Jewish perspective.
It would be best to add some stanzas that include them.
wow amen thats beautiful
I am an American Christian and I sing this song when I get stressed out because it is optimistic and calming.
1000% pro Ha Tikvah!!! Will always be my/ our national Jewish anthem!!!! And Ive never heard a Mizrahi complain. They love it, just as much as anyone! Totally ridiculous. Whoever doesn’t like it can....
1000000% support Israel 🇮🇱. Hope to Israel.
This was really interesting - thank you.
I can't give an opinion as I'm neither Israeli nor Jewish but I do love the Jewish people AND the land of Israel.
As a non jewish gentile who isn't even Israeli I love singing the Israeli national anthem
Maybe your soul is Jewish then lol
Me too...i like listening to the israeli anthem and jerusalem of gold
As a catholic myself i love Hatikvah and Israel!
Greetings from Syria where our National anthem starts with a stupid salut to our army who bombs the hell out of us 🤣 .
Hatikvah has maybe the nicest lyrics, I won't say it is racist specially after hearing its story but maybe Israeli Arabs who won't chant it should be understood :D
Eyad Kourdi Sure you are (from Syria) 🙄 ie Sock puppet “Syrian”
Hatikvah is the most racist national anthem it ain't have a good lyrics at all.
2557carla It’s whole meaning is “We OWN this land” for the insane notion that God is a real estate agent who reserved a stretch of land for his special master race. It’s utterly delusional and arrogant.
@ The Israeli national anthem means to massacre more Palestinian people its an anthem of genocide.
2557carla Yes, it is. And yet they think they’re any different than the Nazis with their sentiment of theocratic superiority.🙄 Can’t even say ethnic since so many are European caucasians.
You guys should have played the full anthem at some point of the video as that was what I was expecting. Now I have to RUclips hatikvah
Unfortunately that would have been difficult since we don't own the rights for any of the recordings, we'll add a link in the description and to the pinned comment to make it easier.
Listen to HaTikvah here-
Instrumental version: ruclips.net/video/ylGv-iSJxKA/видео.html
Lyrical version: ruclips.net/video/V9hav4QPSeU/видео.html
I mean , it has problems in a modern , realistic Israel but it is inspirational .You can feel the hope , the desperation , the joy and determination despite so much suffering to go back to the land of their people and make it their own once more , the Land promised by God and which is their birth place and eternally connected Home .
I respect and envy that
4:01 = National pride, pride in who you are, and pride in where you came from!
Thank you so much for explaining this. Wish we could have heard HaTikvah itself in the video! :)
Love the beautiful melody -- the only national anthem in a minor key. Perhaps more inclusive stanzas can be added.
Not a good idea. It's like adding too many spices during food preparation. It confuses the palate and dilutes a unique flavor.
Kenya 🇰🇪 Minor key. Awesome too.
@@rjp-sf9hg You're wrong on both counts. A lot of spices make a dish complex in flavor and too little leaves a dish bland. A common criticism of Western non-professional cooks that their food is too bland and the exception to this rule is Italians who use a lot of spices.
As for a song, Israel has a Jewish spirit, but it is far more complex than just Jewish. HaTikvah could include a few verses that include it's a Arabs minorities who have been in the land for over a thousand years. Arabs were in Jerusalem long before Ashkenazi Jews were even a thing. Most of the 2000 years that Jews were expelled, non-Jewish Arabs were living in Israel, so it's preposterous they can't even receive some mention and that they just have to deal with it.
This is the most beautiful sad song I've ever heard.
Extraordinarily well written and narratively organized.
You're wrong. The an sisters of Jews from the middle east love the national anthem and don't think is misrepresent us. By the way, Morocco for example is more west then most Europe states
Just one thing needed in this video. Play the song. It is a beautiful tune. That from a American Evangelical Christian.
To be honest, the melody is sad
We Will never loose the hope!!!
Maybe instead of “With eyes turned towards the east”, maybe it could be “With eyes turned towards the Mount” in reference to Mount Herzl.
Instead of "The soul of a Jew still yearns" could be changed to "The soul of a Judean still yearns" although in hebrew this would be exactly the same.
What's your favorite anthem?
NegaraKu-Malaysia...
As a Greek I say Hatikva is my favorite.
Hatikvah
بلادي egypt
La Marseillaise for the music (not the lyrics), but probably Canada overall
I mean, you're doing a great job, man! Had to subscribe.
Add a second stanza that celebrates the inclusivity of Israel and what they all have achieved together.
I agree!
Just leave the Hatikva lyrics alone. I'm Colombian, and when I sing Hatikva something feels warm inside me. So, if you don't victimise yourself all the time, you won't have issues singing the anthem
This is a very moving anthem, indeed very unlike other anthems of the world that I've listened to. Even though I'm not Jewish, I feel the yearning to visit this land, the land where my faith came from, the homeland of my Lord, though unfortunately it's extremely difficult for me to go there due to restrictions in my country policy regarding Israel.
I can get why some people don't feel represented and refuse to sing it, but think about it, every country potential has an anthem that doesn't represent everyone, even for me a Malaysian, Chinese by ethnicity and Christian by faith, don't always feel included like in most anthems, which sometimes can be overly religious, but nevertheless it's not such a big issue for me personally and I feel a sense of pride for my nation.
Striking a balance in a multiracial and multireligious country is never easy but people should try to at least look past our differences. That's why sometimes, I don't favour labelling people or even myself by a certain race or ethnicity, it's better to belong to no one but ultimately belonging to everyone.
12 02 Thank You very much ! ♥️
Was hoping for more information about the actual origin of the song. Like the full original lyrics (which I very like). And more information on the debate behind the origin of the melody.
If you want a better story of the musical part, you should youtube Astrith Baltsan. She is a very good story teller.
Small correction: The Uganda Proposal was just to save Jews momentarily, not to be the final homeland
India's national anthem is literally a geography lesson. It mentions different provinces mountains and rivers of India. In fact one provinces which it refers is not even in India. (It went to Pakistan after partition.)
Infact it is written in a language which is neither spoken by majority of people nor is some kind of ancient religious language. However, our national song Vande Mataram (glory to Motherland) is very much like your national anthem. It is in sanskrit, our holy language. It was part of our anti-colonial struggle. But as not to offend non-hindu population we did not adopt it as our national anthem but rather have to contend with it as a national song. Even today many Muslim Indians refuse to sing it on frivolous grounds such as it is against our religion.
7:49 Why we have yet to see a South Indian actor play Batman...Lmao😂😂😂
If you look far away east... eventually you'll end up in jerusalem. The world is round.
All roads lead to Rome.. the sequel
Has anyone considered new lyrics? Even Germany adopted a new stanza to their anthem; they even changed the title to "Deutschlandlied," or "Germany Song."
Ynez Yante here ♥️ why care about the Arabs say. Let's sing the Hatikbah ❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 always Praying for you from the Philippines ♥️❤️🙏🙏
Thanks for the history of the anthem, as I am learning it, I enjoy the melody first, it's like a folksong, it touches my heart, I feel more relaxed and it's easy to follow, somehow the lyrics sound like Japanese to me, very oriental, I am Chinese, in general Chinese people don't like war, they would give up some lands as to compromise in the history, Hong Kong, Macau and lost Taiwan, I would pray they will find a peaceful solution, the war in Middle East would affect the whole world, if Jerusalem is the holy city, shouldn't we have a global anthem to our heavenly Father, an anthem to his kingdom, we all need peace, love, respect, we look toward East to the sun, it shines on all people , let's pray for the holy spirit to come and awaken his people, the 12 tribes all come and worship and celebrate his coming
I am a Christian raised in a Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY where I learned to respect and love my Jewish friends....
"east" is like "dawn" - in Albanian dawn = agimi, lindje = east, yet both "agimi i djellit" and "lindja e djellit" means "sunrise," sun=djell. So "east" being the direction of "sunrise" means more than just a geographical east, without the sunrise direction context.
I think the overall spirit of an anthem is more important than forced inclusiveness. The Star-Spangled Banner speaks of a specific event that no one alive remembers, and yet it is used as the national anthem because it embodies a theme in American history, the military victory at a time when America was an underdog.
Very non inclusive of First Nations Americans speaking of SSB America's anthem. Shir Ha Ma'alot In the becher is inclusive fits the current tune and still VERY Jewish.
Indeed! "...and our Flag was still there."
Yes the Star Spangled Banner now has no relevance ( and the country seldom cares about underdogs) as continuing a grudge against an ally makes no sense. Hail Colombia or America the Beautiful would be a better national anthem
I think maybe just change the stanza about looking to the east if that’s possible but overall Israel is supposed to be the Jewish state so it only makes logical sense that the anthem embodies the Jewish spirit.
It’s like England’s national anthem is “God save the queen” (changes to king depending on the monarch) you could argue that it doesn’t do enough to represent the various population groups like Muslims who believe in the idea of a caliphate, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, atheists who don’t believe in God and British citizens who identify stronger with another country but the anthem captures the English spirit but would we argue to change that anthem to be more representative of the various groups of people in the land?
definitely thank you ways
Halleluyah!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️
It's ok to add a few verses to Hatikva. It is a beautiful song, and should represent all of Israel and Palestine. New Zealand anthem has 8 verses, by comparison.
Why palestine? I'm not saying palestine sucks, but I don't think that Israel should include foreign states into a domestic national anthem
As an American grad student of cultural anthropology, this is INCREDIBLY interesting. I myself am Agnostic, but I have made many good Jewish & Muslim friends over the past few years or so. That being said, a couple of them spent a pretty long time in Israel & really grew to love it - I can see why they would want to retain Hatikva. My question is whether there could potentially be some form of compromise - maybe a line or two could be omitted, while another line or two could be added to the anthem?
😊 I always loved the Moldao but did not know that it was Hatikva
You also look east from Morocco and Tunis and Algiers.
Well about the line “ facing towards the east” well technically if we face towards the sat no mater what we would still be facing towards Jerusalem.
La Resistance from the South Park movie.
8:01 Mizrahi means Eastern
South Indian bat man ..lol..that cracked me up ....much love from south/north/east/west/ India
Halleluyah!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Keep the tune and change the words to Psalm 122:
שמחתי באמרים לי בית יהוה נלך
עמדות היו רגלינו בשעריך ירושלם
ירושלם הבנויה כעיר שחברה לה יחדו
ששם עלו שבטים שבטי יה
עדות לישראל להדות לשם יהוה
כי שמה ישבו כסאות למשפט כסאות לבית דויד
שאלו שלום ירושלם ישליו אהביך
יהי שלום בחילך שלוה בארמנותיך
למען אחי ורעי אדברה נא שלום בך
למען בית יהוה אלהינו אבקשה טוב לך
I rejoiced when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”
And now our feet are standing within your gates, O Jerusalem.
Jerusalem is built as a city bonded as one together.
It is there that the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD;
for Israel’s law it is to praise the name of the LORD.
There were set the thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
For the peace of Jerusalem pray, “May they prosper, those who love you.”
May peace abide in your walls, and security be in your towers.
For the sake of my family and friends, let me say, “Peace upon you.”
For the sake of the house of the LORD, our God, I will seek good things for you.
Controversial? Really? There are many in America who don't like our own anthem. Mostly we honor it even if its vocalizations are unreachable. So it should be for the Hatikvah. If you live and love and work in Israel then honor its anthem of hope.
I Love singing National anthem of Israel
Israel was a person, who God blessed and became a nation. This Nation has came back and is Jewish. The anthem fits perfectly as a reminder of what the Jewish people went through. And what they still go through to this day.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Are you mad?? A hot dog is *DEFINITELY* not a sandwich! A sandwich requires TWO slices of bread, you even show a sandwich when you say a hot dog is one. So clearly it isn't one.
A hotdog is most definitely a sandwich! A sandwich is something and bread, a hotdog is meat and bread! It does not require 2 pieces of bread, honestly it doesn't even need to be in between bread (which a hotdog is), it can just be on bread (don't tell me an open faced sandwich ain't a sandwich!). CASE AND POINT.
@@kugelkid8917 So, is pizza a sandwich?
I didn't think so.
Next you'll tell me a freaking _donut_ is a sandwich!
@@GaviLazan Pizza is a sandwich, an open faced sandwich!
@@kugelkid8917 You've got to be kidding me man! Do you put pineapple on your pizzas too??
@@GaviLazan Woah! I'll have a civil argument about sandwiches any day, but if you even suggest that I would put Pineapple on Pizza... Those are fighting words!
I like this song very much because there is hope for all nations through christ.
When commenting on issues of Jewish concern kindly show some respect and keep your Yoshkeh thoughts to yourself!
I respect was what said but it is far from the only anthem that is about peace and not conquering or war. Sweden, England and Malawi come to mind but am sure there are so so so many more. It is a unique anthem - they all are, but not uniquely peaceful.
I always felt if was HaTikva was a bit short. It feels wrong to just discard such beacon of hope that brought us where we are today just because it's no longer 100% accurate to the country Israel grew into. So how about adding a second verse that represents modern day with the Israel striving to be a democracy?
I agree that maybe that would work. I do think the anthem is a little too short. I am not Jewish, but I am interested in Jewish heritage and have listen to the song.
Like most anthems, It has many verses.. but playing 13 verses would become a bit long at most sporting ebents.
I mean, the writer of the song himself was east to Jerusalem (Ukraine) like Mizrachi Jews from Iraq and many of the Mizrachi Jews (from north Africa) were actually west to Jerusalem like western European Jews so its a complicated issue (:
Still I think the video is probably right in the assumption that it was Eurocentric
I would like to "unpack" the Declaration of America 🇺🇸 on July 04th 1776 which correspondence to the 17th Of Tammuz that year.....It seems on the surface America is an essential part to enable and facilitate the Third and final Jewish Commonwealth as we are told that Aaron stated tomorrow the 17th of Tammuz will be a Festival for Hashem culminating in Tisha B' Av a three week Festival with Joy the surpasses the 3 weeks between Rosh Hashanah and Shmeni Azeret. Seems America maybe the igniter of this moment. The recent President showcased what she can do and maybe 2024 will be the year? It needs to be discussed or regulated to mere coincidence.
A less ashkenormative and more pluralistic national anthem with themes of Mizrahim, Sefardim, and all those who find ties to Israel.
I think Hatikva is the most beautiful anthem.
2:45 umm there are jewish who remained in palestine after the exile
Thanks for sharing this video. I think that Israel is a Jewish home so Hatikvah is Israel nacional anthem.
Prefix a verse declaring the universal and secular values of Israel.
The British also made Uganda and Kenya a Jewish Colony within our lifetime.
Are you Israeli or Palestinian?
The thing is that israel was founded to be a Jewish nation(mostly Jewish not just Jewish) and don’t tell me that idk nothing about it because I know the history of my country
I think there should be 2 national anthems, the main one (Hatikva) and a universal one
I think that would be confusing.
Eurovision song contest: 'International Hatikva'
@@tommypelletier8888 Canada technically has two national anthems. An English one and a French one. During sporting events they blend the two together.
I like Israel and the nice national anthem😊❤👌👍👏🌝🌝🌝⭐⭐⭐
As a descendant of an Anus, I don’t feel entitled to speak to Israel’s acceptance of non-Jews. However, I can absolutely defend the position that non-Jews do not have a claim to the Land. It is the Jewish homeland. Any gentile living in and enjoying the blessings of Israel must be respectful of the nation. If they adopt this attitude, they can fully fall in love with HaTikvah. As for Mizrahim, I do not know how active they were in the Zionist movement. But I do know European Jews fought tooth and nail for the establishment of the State and the liberation of the Land. How many kibbutzim were founded by Mizrahim? How many Mizrahim returned to the land before independence? Those who came later to enjoy the benefits should not shame those who sacrificed so much because of taking pride in their unwavering spirit.
I’m Jewish and I love this song and it’s lyrics but it should probably be changed to include everyone and not just Jews in my opinion
I have listened to more than 10 national anthem and love Israel national anthem most. The melody is great with a little sadness and heartbreaking feeling. Indeed, Jewish history has been quite heartbreaking. Other countries anthems are monotonous.
The lyrics are excellent. The only prophetic song, existed before 1948. The Jews were scattered about two thousand years. Note not 500, 1000, 15000, 3000 or any other numbers of years.
Jewish Messiah is also my Lord and Saviour, will return to Jerusalem. Messiah will land on East of Zion which is Mount Olive, enter through Eastern Gate. So, looking towards East of Zion is correct. In fact, prophetic.
At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to happen, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” (Luke 21:27-28)
The Arabs need to write their own lyrics.
Jimmy Page needs to write his own lyrics.
That's why Psalm 126 would have been better...
The Jews returning to their land was just one promise given to us in the Bible, there are so many promises given in the Bible, therefore If God kept this promise, then we can assume God will keep his other promises, therefore The Hope is for everybody
Chosen land
It's not an Italian song but Jewish song for Padua, Italy.

The 'Star Spangle Banner' at the time, only represented Anglo-Americans. America grew in it's diversity, decades and centuries later. We all stand and sing. SHAME on those NFL players who "take a knee" during the singing of our anthem. If it were not for America's sense of fairness and forward thing, they would all be playing on segregated Black teams. Same holds true for Israel. The people who "don't identify' with Hatikvah, STILL enjoy the freedoms and privileges of Israel's democracy. No difference. It is your country. Stand and sing or leave.
Soldiers died for their right to kneel at the anthem
We can only united in Yeshua Hamachiach - the world, not just Israel. Add another verse for the Arab Jews (Jews born in Arab lands) and Arab citizens. Add a final verse for HaShem who unites us all.
Just make multiple Anthems .Modify Hatikvah for non-Western descendant Jews , make Christians sing Palastinalied , et cetera .
Hatikvah, the Jewish Aspirations - Now realizing in Zionism which in turn is the fulfillment of prophecy of old.
We can only united in Yeshua Hamachiach - the world, not just Israel. Add another verse for the Arab Jews (Jews born in Arab lands) and Arab citizens. Add a final verse for HaShem who unitrptes us all.
This Anthem is not as wild like those of the Other Western Nations like the UK Japan or China,
Youre speaking of Israel as if its one country and theyre not illegally occupying another and its people
You cannot please everyone. The Hatikva belongs to the people who started the country and worked the land with blood sweat and tears. If you are a “Johnny come lately” and feel unrepresented by the Hatikva,move to another country
You realize the Arabs complaining about the song have in Israel for over a thousand years while most modern Jews' families immigrated there in the last century, right? Their only connection to the land is that they are descended from the ancient Israelites who were the natives of the land/one of the first people to live there
The Arabs have a continuous chain of descent for over a thousand years, it's justifiable why there upset.
Also, every citizen, no matter what they're born contributes and helps build a society and should be treated. Saying their opinion isn't important because of misnomers is wrong. People like their homes and their lives and don't just pack up and leave like that. As humane people, we should look after our neighbor, we all people with feelings and emotions after all. There's never an excuse to treat an innocent person badly.
I'm a Ukrainian jew, living in England, and I sing all three anthems with my heart!! It doesn't matter where you are in the world, every anthem is an identity of that country, don't like it because it doesn't apply to you, move somewhere else! You can't just change the anthem because it doesn't mention you identity. Love Hatikvah and love Israel! ❤️🇮🇱
I'm a Nigerian yoruba man, and even I can sing the Hatikvah. I love it!
We need to follow The Messiah Yeshua HaMashiach The Lord Jesus Christ
Americans can't sing their anthem, cause it unsingable so they just stand and let a professional singer do it . So I guess when an Arab Israeli just stand while the anthem is playing - that's ok.
Not true. Many people sing the Star Spangled Banner.
5:42 Of course. But many arabs/muslims/palestinians who live in territory Israel claims have no path to citizenship.
yey a ukrainian made it
Hatikvah is the national anthem that promotes racism fascism terrorism apartheidism xenophobia undemocraticism and ethnocentrism. That anthem has an ug Historical side on it, the anthem was 1st played at World Zionist Congress it's a congregational where they are planning to genocide to annahilate Palestinians. The IDF terrorists murderers and the Zionist settlers there in West Bank played and sung that anthem while murdering Palestinians.
I rather stand sing and pay respect to North Korean National Anthem than Israel's National Anthem that promotes racism fascism terrorism apartheidism xenophobia undemocraticism and ethnocentrism.

Blah, Blah, Blah! Modern Israël was founded as a jewish state, refounded in ancian jewish land, where the great majority of it's citzens are jews! Those who wanted to conitnue to live there must accept this fact. The jewish soul water that land! Jewish blood was spilt defeding the right to exist as a jewish state. Israël was called to existence to cope with two thousand years of horrors the jewsih people went through, also in order to bring their suffering to an end. Israël was recalled to existence with the consentiment of internation community in order to bear the protection supposed european democracies failled! If you don't find the violence of the lyrics of La Marseillaise, you find however the no choice spirit to fight not to be oppressed and smashed! Alors admettons des féroces soldats chantant: Qu'un sang impur abreuve nos sillons! Isin't it a sad but real israeli reality?
This national anthem of Israel, is the same tone of Iglesia Ni Cristo in theyre hymm in the worship service,
