Hatikvah (Hebrew: הַתִּקְוָה, The Hope), also HaTikva(h), is the national anthem of Israel. The anthem was written by Naftali Herz Imber, a secular Galician Jew, who moved to Palestine in the early 1880s. The anthem's theme revolves around the nearly 2000-year-old hope of the Jewish people to be a free and sovereign people in the Land of Israel, a national dream that would eventually be realized with the founding of the modern State of Israel in 1948.
