Hava Nagila



"Hava Nagila" is a classic Jewish folk song. While the melody existed long before from Ukrane, the lyrics were written by Abraham Zevi Idelsohn in 1918 during World War I. The title means "Let us rejoice" in Hebrew and is commonly played at Jewish weddings and bar/bat mitzvahs.

In episode 317 of The Muppet Show, a Scotsman interrupts The Electric Mayhem's performance of "America" by playing the song on his bagpipes.

Matisyahu and Moishe Oofnik performed a beatbox duet of the song in the Shalom Sesame episode, Mitzvah on the Street.
