This is Hatikva, the national anthem of Israel. It’s one of the few national anthems I’ve heard that is just nice to listen to, even if you don’t speak Hebrew. Enjoy!

4deer: As I also recall, Cutter put the statement in quotes. He didn’t attribute it, however; he may not have known the source. It’s possible Berkeley Breathed did.

4deer - That was great, thanks for sharing!
Sure hope that Gif doesnt start worrying about losing his (?) hair. Little ones tend to obsess about adult issues.
