Music has no boundaries, religion or language, this is such a beautiful song, i am 40 now, a Sikh, living in India, i don't understand a word of this song, but as a child this was the first song i learnt to sing !!! my dad introduced me to Harry Belafontes songs.
I'm not Jewish, but my 6th grade Jewish teacher taught us this song along with the dance and I've never forgotten it (I'm over 50)! So thankful for the exposure to this traditional song.
“Hava Nagila” (הבה נגילה Havah Nagilah, "Let us rejoice") is an Israeli folk song traditionally sung at Jewish celebrations. It is perhaps the first modern Israeli folk song in the Hebrew language that has become a staple of band performers at Jewish weddings and bar/bat mitzvah celebrations. It was composed in the 1920s in the British Mandate of Palestine, at a time when Hebrew was first being revived as a spoken language for the first time in 2,000 years (since the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE). For the first time, Jews were being encouraged to speak Hebrew as a common language, instead of Yiddish, Arabic, Ladino, or other regional Jewish languages.
Bernard Elias Thank you so much for that information! I love the Jewish people, their traditions, music and culture.. And their weddings.. I have two American Jews married into the family... I also love the film Fiddler on the roof.. And an Israeli friend Nurit presented me with a Tora which is a very precious gift to me. Next life I'd like to be born a Jew...☺ And I've always loved this song from the age of 10 and I am 60 now...
This unlocked a DEEP SEATED memory! I first heard this after a long time from that Hunters show, and then I was wondering why it sounded familiar but not quite...then I found this and it all made sense! My grandmother and mother used to listen to a lot of Harry Belafonte, so I probably heard his version before anything else.
My dad used to play me this somg when I was little everytime we got in the car. I just loved singing to it and hearing the beautiful orchestra. Harry's voice makes every song sound even better than the original.
So many Hava Nagillas have been listened to here on YT! This one comes closer to the heart. Insight into the essence of this music, its soul, the DEPTH
I saw this show. He was fantastic in concert. It's unfortunate that record companies didn't have enough brains and foresight to film more concerts of talented people like Harry. The music industry had some real duds when it came to PRESERVING great talent!
Music doesn’t care what u believe in, who u pray to, what color ur skin is, who u sleep with or vote for...it’s an equal opportunity medium to be enjoyed by anyone and everyone!

Awake, awake, brothers! Awake brothers with a happy heart Awake, brothers, awake, brothers! With a happy heart
As a child in the late '60s, we used to sing this song, in the school playground; had no idea what it meant, but it was very stirring and rousing; we would stand in a circle, place our hands on one and others shoulders and kick our legs high!
How many of you are here after watching 'Mozhi' (Tamil) film? 😄And then, realised Tamil composer Mr. Ilayaraja had lifted this tune and used it for one of his songs in the Kamal starrer film 'Vikram'... for 'En Jodi Manja Kuruvi' song!!! 🤪
It's not a religious song Rick Eastwood it means basically Let's sing and be glad, awake with a joyful heart! Meant to uplift Russian Jews even thought they were being oppressed...we could use some uplifting now..Hey?
Adai yappa thedaiyavar ennikai rombha perusa... erukum Pola... Thanks for mozhi and Google search music option... Along with this search I got addition info yen Jodi manjakuruvi... Copy 🐈
I've been in love with this song for 25 yrs. I'll be performing this live soon. I've sung this so many times ...my friends are in love too. Belafonte is gorgeous . All the love from India
Tai, he is so special. I had this album when I was 4 or 5 and this was my favorite song on the album, followed by Mary's Boy Child. I was a teenager when I heard any one else play the song and it was in a Jewish program and I was so elated that there were so many Belafonte fans! LOL.
Belafonte at Carnegie Hall is a live double album by Harry Belafonte. It is the first of two Belafonte Carnegie Hall albums, and was recorded on April 19 and April 20, 1959. The stereo version of the album was released on the RCA Victor label, in the "Living Stereo" series. The concerts were benefits for The New Lincoln School and Wiltwyck School, respectively. The album was nominated for Album of the Year at the 1961 Grammy Awards. - Wikipedia -

Farewell Mr. Belafonte. Thank you for your voice ❤
Whoof!!!!. Take a bow Henri Belafonte.... Such a multi dimensional singer.. He could sing in any language including Hebrew...
Harry Belafonte!!!!
Nat King Cole did some great multilingual albums back in the day too. Good stuff all round!
I mean, his father was Jewish.. so he probably grew up hearing Hebrew most likely.
One of the Indian regional movies brought me here.. now i m simply addicted !!
Mozhi
Same here

Same here but it has lot of beats
