"Hava Nagila" - the Jewish song, written in 1918 by the gathering of Folklore by Abraham Zvi Idelson to the ancient Hasid melody. The author of music is unknown, but it is believed that it was written by an unknown grinder from Eastern Europe not earlier than the middle of the XIX century. The name literally means "let's rejoice." This song is performed on the holidays and is particularly popular with the Jews. The popularity of the song is such that many consider it folk. In pop culture, this melody is used as a metonym of Judaism.

Some claim that the song was composed in order to mark the occasion of the English troops in Jerusalem in 1917, because of which the joy was rising among the Jews (as some considered it the forerunner of the arrival of the Messiah and return to the Holy Land). In 1918, this song performed by three famous cantors was recorded on a gramophone. It is also approved that it was the first record of Hebrew in Israel. During the century, Rhythm changed several times, and the modern version is somewhat different from the original.
