On National Anthems and Jazz Singers

DaledAmos has an intriguing post about Israel's national anthem. Did you know that Al Jolson sang it? Did you know that Rav Kook wrote an alternate version?

Very interesting.

I happen to have that very same recording of Al Jolson singing the HaTikvah! It's great! My friend sent it to me! It's stored in my iPod library...:)
