  • In 1878, the land of Israel was a hope - Ha Tikva - “The Hope” of every Jew.
    The Romans renamed the land after their ancient enemy, the Philistines, when they evicted the Jews from their homeland.
    Around the world for millennia, generation after generation faced exile after exile as they faced a new massacre from their neighbours.
    Naftali Herz Imber, from Poland captured their hope of returning to their homeland in this poem.
    By 1920, this was adapted by Zionists to express the hope realized. This later become the Israeli national anthem.

    I’ve enjoyed getting into an eastern European style of music again from this melody originating from Romania. As a Christian, I feel my hope is intertwined with that of the Jews. Having no homeland, Israel is the closest we’ve got, and we look forward to living in the New Jerusalem for eternity with the Messiah. My other hope is that I’ve presented the essence of this beautiful poem and the hope it carries with tolerable artistic license; and that I haven’t butchered the Hebrew language too much.
    Shalom to you all. Be blessed.

    I really appreciate the long struggle of the Israelites to regain their ancestral land. For 2000 years they have always wanted to return to Zion and longed for Jerusalem, the city of David. The Israeli people are a nation that is strong, full of hope, diligent, disciplined and an inspiration for the development of world civilization. May Israel always live in peace. Greetings from Indonesia.

      Yup. You could say 2,500-2,700 years - since the first exile from Babylon and Assyria. They've not had automony lasting more than a few years since then, having been ruled over by the Persians, Greeks and Romans. So while the hope of returning to their land is realized, hence the modification of this poem for their anthem, Israel still longs for the messiah to return to restore complete peace and security forever.

    Levantemo-nos de manhã para ir às vinhas, vejamos se florescem as vides, se estão abertas as suas flores, e se as romanzeiras já estão em flor; ali te darei o meu amor. As mandrágoras exalam perfume, e às nossas portas há toda sorte de excelentes frutos, novos e velhos; eu os guardei para ti, ó meu amado.

      That reminds me of how Israel has fulfilled:
      Isaiah 27:6 In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world with fruit.
      Blessed be the God of Israel.

    Is there a spanish version to this, for my spanish speaking friends?

    • @Bretanark
      @Bretanark  5 місяців тому +1

      I'd be happy to add that. Either as another video, but maybe better to add captions to this one to avoid confusion with two different versions.
      If you're happy to provide a translation, I'll add that. The Spanish wikipedia page doesn't have the full text, and my spanish is only good enough to fumble through reading.

      Our hope is not yet lost,
      The ancient hope,
      To return to the land of our fathers;
      The city where David encamped.
      As long as in his heart within,
      A soul of a Jew still yearns,
      And onwards towards the ends of the east,
      His eye still looks towards Zion.
      As long as tears from our eyes
      Flow like benevolent rain,
      And throngs of our countrymen
      Still pay homage at the graves of our fathers.
      As long as our precious Wall
      Appears before our eyes,
      And over the destruction of our Temple
      An eye still wells up with tears.
      As long as the waters of the Jordan
      In fullness swell its banks,
      And down to the Sea of Galilee
      With tumultuous noise fall.
      As long as on the barren highways
      The humbled city-gates mark,
      And among the ruins of Jerusalem
      A daughter of Zion still cries.
      As long as pure tears
      Flow from the eye of a daughter of my nation
      And to mourn for Zion at the watch of night
      She still rises in the middle of the nights.
      As long as the feeling of love of nation
      Throbs in the heart of a Jew,
      We can still hope even today
      That a wrathful God may have mercy on us.
      Hear, oh my brothers in the lands of exile,
      The voice of one of our visionaries,
      “That only with the very last Jew,
      Only there is the end of our hope!”

      Here's the english transliteration. Spanish seems to prefer a "J" instead of "kh":
      Od lo avdah tikvatenu
      Hatikva hanoshana
      Mishuv le’erets avotenu
      La’ir bah David khanah.
      Kol od bilvavo sham pnima
      Nefesh yehudi homiyah
      Ulfa’ate mizrakh kadimah
      Enu letsion tsofiyah.
      Kol od dema’ot me’enenu
      Teradnah kegeshem nedavot
      Urvavot mibne amenu
      Od holkhim lekivre-avot.
      Kol od khomat-makhmadenu
      Od le’enenu mofa’at
      Va’ale khurban mikdashenu
      Ayin akhat od doma’at.
      Kol od hayarden bega’on
      Melo gedotaiv yizolu
      Ulyam kineret besha’on
      Bekol hamulah yipolon.
      Kol od shamah dema’ot tehorot
      Me’en-ami nozlot
      Livkot letsion berosh ashmorot
      Yakum bakhatsi halelot.
      Kol od regesh ahavat-hale’om
      Belev hayehudi po’em
      Od nukhal kaveh gam hayom
      Ki yerakhamenu el zo’em.
      Shim’o akhai beartsot nudi
      Et kol ekhad khuzenu
      “Ki rak im akharon hayehudi
      Gam akharit tikvatenu!”

      Shalom Lilac. Thanks for the comment. I don't understand why you're asking "What's this?" I hope my ignorance towards Israelis hasn't caused offence.

      My confusion is that I describe the background of this performance in the description above.
      Further to this, this is an artistic expression of solidarity with God's chosen people, for whom I have a particular affection.
      It's quite possible that my above-quoted information sources are wrong, in which case, I'd appreciate any correction.
