Okay, I really hate to be redundant, but since my e-mail has pooped out
on me and has deleted ALL of the messages I had saved as reference, I
don't have a choice. So here's my question, and my quest...

I need to find the history of Hatikvah, lyrics and music. My Director of
Education also wanted to find out if other schools are singing with or
without the Bat. He regards it more of what's tradition here (akin to
Sephardic and Askenazi pronounciation of Hebrew) rather than solely what
is sung in Israel. He feels that if we teach it with the Bat in school
and our cantor sings it without the Bat, or students go somewhere else
and sing it where they are singing without the Bat, that they will feel
like they're doing it wrong. I know this will make many of you angry. I
explained that singing without the Bat would be like Israelis altering
America's National Anthem. So...I ask for your
suggestions...input...information.

Thanks for helping me beat a dead horse a little bit more!
