Which Israeli folk song is featured on Scottish bagpipes for the soundtrack album from Monty Python's Life of Brian?
Hava Nagila "Hava Nagila" (Hebrew: הבה נגילה‎ , "Havah Nagilah", "Let us rejoice") is an Israeli folk song traditionally sung at Jewish celebrations. It is perhaps the first modern Israeli folk song in the Hebrew language that has become a staple of band performers at Jewish weddings and "bar/bat mitzvah" celebrations. The melody is based on a Hassidic Nigun and it was composed in 1915 in Ottoman Palestine, when Hebrew was being revived as a spoken language for the first time in almost 2,000 years (since the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE). For the first time, Jews were being encouraged to speak Hebrew as a common language, instead of Yiddish, Arabic, Ladino, or other regional Jewish languages.
