"Hava Nagila" (lit. Let us rejoice) is a Hebrew folk
song that has become a staple of band performers at
Jewish weddings and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs. The melody was
taken from an Ukrainian folk dance-song from Bukovina
(a variant of Hora). It uses the Phrygian dominant
scale, common in music of Romania and Western Ukraine.
The commonly used text was probably composed by Abraham
Zevi (Zvi) Idelsohn in 1918 to celebrate the British
victory in Palestine during World War I as well as the
Balfour Declaratio...(+)
