The catchy music of Le Marsellaise, the French national anthen, has been adapted to a new Hebrew hymn which was sung for the first time to an overflow meeting at Rishon le Zion protesting the British White Palestine. The author of the words to the new Hebrew hymn is Ittamar Ben Avi, Palestinian newspaperman, who led in the singing of the hymn.
