In light of a recent poll showing that most Israeli school students do not know that HaTikvah - the national anthem - was written by Naftali Tzvi Imber, Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu notes some other "forgotten" aspects of the song. Speaking with Arutz-7's Tuvia Rosenfeld this morning, Tzfat's Chief Rabbi said that though Imber was a secular Jew in all external respects, "he captured the essence of being Jewish, in writing that as long as even one Jew still pines for the Holy Land, 'our hope [tikvah, in Hebrew] is not lost.'" Rabbi Eliyahu added that the law establishing HaTikvah as Israel's national anthem "refers not only to the two verses that we generally sing, but also to some other verses that for some reason are generally ignored. Imber also writes that 'as long as even one eye still tears over the destruction of the Holy Temple, our hope is not lost.'"
