The words of Israel's national anthem were written as a nine-stanza poem by poet Naftali Herz Imber and were first published in 1876 or 1877 (the exact date is unknown). It served as the anthem of the Zionist Movement at the 18th Zionist Congress in 1933. When the State of Israel was established, the first stanza and refrain were adopted as the national anthem. Until 2004, Hatikva was not officially the national anthem when it was rooted in the "Flag and Emblem Law" of 1949 which then became the "Flag, Emblem, and National Anthem Law, 5709-1949."

Without question, the very sounds of Hatikvah stir the Jewish soul. Yet, there is a forgotten name when we hear the Hatikvah. The words were composed by Naphtali Imber. The words of Hope written by Imber in the 19th century resonate today.

Few in Galut know the words to the Hatikvah. Even fewer have any idea what they mean. What almost everyone Jew anywhere recognizes, as their heart stirs, is the music.
The forgotten man of the Hatikvah is the Composer of the music, Samuel Cohen. Cohen died in 1940.
A long overdue project to repair, upgrade and interpret respectfully his deteriorated resting place is being undertaken by the Jewish American Society for Historic Preservation.

Thank you for this wonderful Hatikvah. Yishar Koach on your bulletins - please carry on - especially the positive. Shabbat Shalom
