THE STAR -SPANGLED BANNER

Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hail'd at the twil ight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

HATIKVAH THE HOPE- THE NATIONAL AN TH EM OF ISRAEL

(Transliteration)

Kol od baleyvav penimah Nefesh Yehudi homiyah, Ulfa'asey mizrach kadimah Ayin leTziyon tzofiyah.

Refrain

Od lo avdah tikvateynu, Hatikvah shenot alpayim, Lihyot am chofshi be'artzeynu B'Eretz Tziyon V'Yerushalayim.

(repeat last two lines)

(English Translation)

So long as still within our breasts The Jewish heart beats true, So long as stil l towards the East To Zion, looks the Jew.

Refrain

So long as our hopes are not yet lost­ Two thousand years we cherished them­ To live in freedom in the Land Of Zion and Jerusalem. Order of Exercises
