Re: Hatikva Request

[Alan D Corre <corre...>]

My understanding is that there was an old folk melody that was used both
in Vltva and for Hatikvah. Both derive from a common source. There's a lot
of slavic influence in modern hebrew culture. the jews had been living among
the slavs for centuries, so it is hardly surprising.
