Nathanson, it wasn't a mat-
ter of having one Jew more
or less in Israel.
"This man became our
greatest shaliach [emissary
from Israel]," the cantor
says. "With his music he
created more Zionists than
any other person." ❑
Horah Stories
Have Nagilah is inex-
tricably intertwined with
the Horah, the classic
dance of the chalutzim,
the Zionist pioneers of
Palestine.
Both the song and the
dance passed beyond the
borders of Israel long ago
and still elicit fond
memories for many Jews.
Below are some of the
stories Detroiters shared
about Hava Nagilah and
the Horah.

IL "By that time he had al-
ready established a life
here," she says. "But we
went back many times."
Cantor Feinberg sees his
mentor's life and work in
broader terms. With Moshe
Like many others, Shel-
ly Jackier learned Hava
Nagilah as a child. "We
always identified the song
withpeople dancing in
the fields under the
Israeli sun," she said.
But the song took on a
whole new meaning after
Mrs. Jackier, director of
the American-Israel
Chamber of Commerce,
returned from her first
trip to Israel. Determined
to leave Israel with more
than a pocketful of
souvenirs, Mrs. Jackier
made a commitment to
learn Hebrew and express
her love for the country
through dance. The first
choreographed dance she
learned when she return-
ed to the States was
Hava Nagilah.
Founder of the Galai
HaRuach dance group
and a performer with its
successor, the Hora Aviv
Israeli folk dance troupe,
Mrs. Jackier says au-
diences of all kinds re-
spond when the dancers
perform Hava Nagilah.
"Everybody can hum
along or knows some of
the words," she said.
CANTOR
STUART FRIEDMAN
As a student in can-
torial school, Cantor
Friedman learned the his-
tory of Hava Nagilah.
Later, he learned what
the song means to Jews.
"It's the one song that's
familiar to everybody,"
said Cantor Friedman of
Congregation B'nai
David.
Cantor Friedman often
sings Hava Nagilah
when he works with chil-
dren or visits seniors at
nursing homes. The song
never fails to elicit a re-
sponse, he said. "People
are always jumping up
and singing along."
AUDREY LORBER
Audrey Lorber has
heard Hava. Nagilah "at
least 1,000 times," she
said. "But I never tire of
it."-
The owner of Create
Video Inc., Ms. Lorber
produces videos of wed-
dings, b'nai mitzvah par-
ties and other social
events. She said she's
heard hundreds of varia,
tions of the song — some
slow, some fast, some with
a heavy bass. One version
is played at virtually
every event where she
works.
"It's very seldom that I
don't hear Hava.
Nagilah," she said. "And
I'm always happy when
it's played. It's almost as
though something is lack-
ing when it isn't.
Sometimes, it's the only
thing giving any Jewish
flavor to the event."
Ms. Lorber said
listeners always enjoy the
song. "The room seems to
come alive when Hava
Nagilah is played," she
said. "Everybody — old
and young — likes it and
they're all dancing and
putting people up on the
chairs."
ZINA SHAYKHET
"More than any other
song, Hava Nagilah rep-
resents Israeli music to
the world at large," said
Ms. Shaykhet, music di-
rector of Temple Israel.
"It has been sung and
recorded by many famous
vocal stars.
"To me, Have Nagilah
is like a familiar, dear
friend. It elicits warm and
important memories. It
was the song our parents
sang to us when we were
children, and now we
teach it to our children."
