"Hava Nagila" (Hebrew: הָבָה נָגִילָה, romanized: Hāvā Nāgīlā, lit. 'Let us rejoice') is a Jewish folk song. It is traditionally sung at celebrations, such as weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, and other Jewish holidays among the Jewish community. Written in 1918, it quickly spread through the Jewish diaspora.
