12 songbooks and booklets with the lyrics to "HaTikvah", some with additional verses of the original poem by Naftali Herz Imber, "Tikvatenu" ("Our Hope"). Berlin, London, Alexandria, Tehran and elsewhere, the first half of the 20th century. Hebrew, Ladino, French, English and German.
1. The national anthem, "HaTikvah". Published by the World Zionist Organization and the Young Zionists Society in Alexandria, Alexandria, [ca. 1907]. Songbook with the lyrics to the song and, facing the Hebrew, a French translation.
