[HANASHIR:10481] L'Takein

[SELINGER <SELINGER...>]

When Dan Nichols taught us "L'Takein," at HN '01, he changed the word
"hizdamnut" to "ha-chovah." I was teaching the song last Sunday when an
Israeli teacher told me she couldn't figure out what Hebrew word that is.
Perhaps I got it wrong or I'm mispronouncing it. 

Could someone please tell me the Hebrew spelling and translation of
"ha-chovah" so I can look it up? 

By the way, here is my personal favorite dreidel verse...

I have a little dreidel
Made from a CD-ROM,
It helped me launch a start-up
Called DreidelSpin-dot-com!
