  • As an Israeli living in the US, I have watched my identity grow to encompass both communities of belonging. For this reason it was such an honor to perform both anthems at a sold out concert at Carnegie Hall with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, celebrating the legacy of maestro Zubin Mehta. I hope you will enjoy this during this Chanukkah season.

    There are many discussions about the origin of the israeli anthem. This is the truth. The words to this anthem were written in 1886 by N. Herz Imber, an English poet originaly from Bohemia (now Czech republic) and the melody was written by Samuel Cohen, an immigrant from Moldavia who actually based the melody on a musical theme found in "Vltava" a master piece composed by the world known Czech composer Bedrich Smetana.

    Both beautiful anthems, both in their own way are about fortitude.
    The virtue of persistence in some good purpose, over time & in the face great difficulty.
    H'Tikva about a people clinging to the memory & love of their ancient home & land & how it has preserved the nation even w/o a state.
    The Star Spangled Banner about how the soldiers of that fort who stood their ground & preserved their nation & state against a long terrible night bombardment.
    They are about looking to some higher purpose to sustain your faith, symbolized in a land & in a flag.
