DescriptionMusic sheet for Hatikwa (Hatikva) sung by Egon Sonnenschein and his guests on the day of his Barmitzvah, 19 May 1944. The words are in phonetic Hebrew with German translation. The page has been folded to fit in the book of stories from the Bible which was presented to Egon on this special day.
"Hatikvah" (English: The Hope) is the national anthem of Israel. Its lyrics are adapted from a poem by Naftali Herz Imber, a Jewish poet from Złoczów. Imber wrote the first version of the poem in 1877, while the guest of a Jewish scholar in Iași, Romania. The romantic anthem's theme reflects the Jews' 2000-year-old hope of returning to the Land of Israel, restoring it, and reclaiming it as a sovereign nation. When the State of Israel was established in 1948, Hatikvah was unofficially proclaimed the national anthem.
