Hava Nagila: What Is It? is a documentary romp through the history, mystery, and meaning of the great Jewish standard. Funny, deep and unexpected, the film will celebrate 100 years of Jewish history and culture and reveal the power of music to bridge cultural divides and bring us together as human beings.We began making Hava Nagila: What Is It? in 2009. In April 2010, we completed a ten-minute fundraising clip. This sample clip touched a chord. Nearly 500,000 people have seen it online. What’s more, over 300 people have donated to the film!
With foundations drastically reducing their funding of the arts, we’re counting on hundreds of donations large and small to finish the film…And it’s working! With online donor support, we’ve been able to continue shooting with scholars and celebrities including:
Connie Francis - Watch clipGlen Campbell - Watch clip
Harry Belafonte
Leonard Nimoy
We are now in post-production! Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the film and being a part of the longest credit roll in history!
