[edit] Copyright

Unless this song is public domain (not clear, since it has an author but no date of writing), the lyrics ought not be published on wikipedia, since they are copyright. I am going to delete them, but note that the edit prior to mine as of today in the edit history will still contain them if there is good cause to put it back.

To the best of my knowledge this song is not under copyright and no longer (or was ever) attibuted. It addition its authors and composers are unclear, for instance both Goldfartb and Gelbart are listed as composers in different places. See here for an article from Goldfarb's grandaugher claiming he wrote the song as a young man living in Brooklyn Heights, working at the Kane Street Synagogue and the Bureau of Jewish Education of New York as well as atesting to it not being a song that is attibuted.

[edit] the connection of the song to Israel

The song is neither in hebrew nor it is common in israel and so i propose to remove the category Hebrew songs. --Oren neu dag (talk) 13:39, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
