Funny you say that floortje, because when I was young, probably over 50 years ago living in Los Gatos CA, a neighbor girl taught me the song... And I too had no idea what it meant. I didn't even know it was a Jewish song.

[@MerlePsyA]

"How delightful it is for brethren to share together" -- how delightful it is to hear a great singer/actor/entertainer, a great humanitarian activist, a great soul, share this song with all of us. Thank you, Harry Belafonte, for everything you have offered the world.

[@MerleHeidi]

Alas, I knew of Harry Belafonte's humanitarianism when he was mentored by Paul Robeson, but I recently found out that late in life he became anti-Israel. I will continue to admire him for everything he offered the world, but I am offended by his animosity to Israel.

[@uniqueconsultants8817]

I am a Hindu from India but began to love the spirit of this song after seeing Raid on Entebbe. Love to jews and Israel from India and Hindus

[@NavDDG54]

This song became permanently etched into the Jewish psyche after the miraculous rescue operation on July 4, 1976 in Entebbe Uganda, upon learning of the only Israeli soldier's death (the mission commander Yoni Netenyahu, brother of Israel's current PM) his men sang this song over and over. This song codifies what Israel is and what it stands for. All Jews are brothers and sisters, we are one nation, one family. and it is wonderful when we as a nation work together

[@jamaicalucea8259]

NavDDG54 Amen

[@debbiecelli3509]

Thank you so much for the explanation. I was watching a video with Danny Kaye and Harry Belafonte and KZbin brought me here. When I heard the song, I had a strong reaction but I didn't understand why until I read what you wrote. Then I remembered, when I was a small girl the movie about Entebbe came out and even at a young age I was moved by this song. I haven't heard it since and I'm delighted to find it now!

It's impossible for music to sound more Jewish. Sadness, tragedy, strength shine out from every note.

[@x-ray-ich1141]

In our eyes Jewish history is full of tragedy but in eye of HaShem is not like that. It's a history about Glory of The HaShem! 2000 years! And the Land come back! What it is? It is the Glory of the HaShem. He is showing simple all. 😊
