Hatikvah: Israel’s National Anthem That Almost Wasn’t
How to watch
Summary
The Orthodox didn’t want it, the socialists didn’t want it–even the father of modern Zionism, Theodor Herzl, didn’t want it. This is the story of Hatikvah, a tale of hope triumphing over adversity, and told in celebration of Yom Ha'atzmaut and the 77th birthday of the State of Israel.
