The most famous Jewish tune today is Hava Nagila.
It has its roots in Hasidic Sadagura.
And so the story goes:
One morning the Friedman castle dining room
was full of hungry Hasidim and the serving was
late ,so they picked up their cups and started
knocking on the mensa table.
"Dai dai , di doodle , dai dai , di doodle ..."
They chanted.
It had no words or meaning,
Just a made - up silly tune.
It reached Palestine where it also got lyrics.
It is also danced as a Hora at weddings.
The No 1 jewish trademark of the century.
Here is Helmut Lotti doing it:

All they wanted to say was :
"Bring in the coffee .
Bring in the coffee
And also the Chay !"
