Hatikvah is written

Galician poet, Naphtali Herz Imber writes a poem called “Tikvatenu” (Our Hope), later adopted as the Zionist anthem, Hatikvah. English translation of Hatikvah: “As long as deep in the heart, The soul of a Jew yearns, And towards the East, An eye looks to Zion, Our hope is not yet lost, The hope of two thousand years, To be a free people in our land, The land of Zion and Jerusalem.”
