- HISTORY
The title of the national anthem of ISRAEL is HATIKVAH, meaning "The Hope." It was written by NAPHTALI HERZ IMBER (1856-1909), who moved to Palestine in 1882 from Galicia. The melody was arranged by SAMUEL COHEN, an immigrant from Moldavia, from a musical theme in Smetana's "Moldau" that is partly based on a Scandinavian folk song. Hatikvah expresses the hope of the Jewish people, that they would someday return to the land of their forefathers as prophesied in the Hebrew Bible. The Jewish people were exiled from Israel in 70 C.E. by the Roman army led by Titus who destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem. During the two thousand years of exile, the Jewish people said special daily prayers for return to Israel while facing the East in the direction of Jerusalem. They celebrated the holidays according to Hebrew seasons and calendar. Zion is synonymous with Israel and Jerusalem.
ISRAEL's national anthem - HATIKVAH was sung by ENRICO MACIAS. Video created by yours truly, GISELLE LOU PASIGNAJEN AY-AD. All photos herein are all photos of the Land of ISRAEL itself and its people, except for the first and the last photo ( The Israel flag with the Menorah and the Lion of Judah ) which I made myself.
In the video, you might ask what those other symbols beside the ISRAEL flag, the Menorah and the Lion of Judah. Well, these two are one of the the Prophetic symbols of ISRAEL namely:
1.) The Menorah - This is probably the oldest of all Jewish symbols. It has no parallel in heraldry and produces an immediate association with the subject it represents - the Temple in Jerusalem.
The symbol is incorporated in the official seal of Israel. The seal features the seven- branched candelabrum of the Temple. The two artists who designed the seal took as their model the depiction of the menorah in relief on the Arch of Titus in Rome. Their original design featured a white band at the top on which was emblazoned the seven golden stars Theodor Herzl had intended for the flag of the Jewish state. But the governmental committee in charge of selecting the design decided to eliminate the stars.
The olive branches express the state's peaceful intentions. The menorah attests to the link of the Jewish people with their glorious past when a huge menorah stood in their Temple in Jerusalem. The inscription at the bottom says "Israel." This seal is used on the official government documents of the state of Israel.
2.) The Lion of Judah - The lion became associated with the Jewish people when Jacob on his death bed referred to the tribe of Judah as "a lion's whelp" (Genesis 49:9). It was adopted as the symbol of the tribe of Judah, and later, when that tribe came to dominate Jewish life, it was identified with the Jewish people as a whole. It is used on the flag of Jerusalem. The design of that flag is similar to the flag of Israel, with a white background and dark blue stripes. But a depiction of the Lion of Judah replaces the Star of David in the center. The lion is displayed against a golden background that represents the Western Wall or "Wailing Wall" as it is known in the Western world. The word above the emblem is the Hebrew rendering of Jerusalem. The olive branches on each side represent the desire for peace, bringing to mind the biblical command to "pray for the peace of Jerusalem" (Psalm 122:6).

***** "Please clear me up, i cant undersand the anthems meaning, the jews want to live in their land....but they are already living there! Why are they crying for something that they already have????"
This was written before that.
They got their land . But why they take Islam lands? And even hurt them? What have they learn about Islam in their land? They hate all religion except Jews. But why?
