It is instantly recognizable - musical shorthand for anything Jewish, a happy party tune that you dance to at weddings, bar mitzvahs and even at Major League Baseball games. It conjures up wistful smiles, memories of generations past...and no shortage of eye rolling. But as audiences will discover in Hava Nagila (The Movie), the song is much more than a tale of Jewish kitsch and bad bar mitzvah fashions. It carries with it an entire constellation of history, values and hopes for the future. In its own believe-it-or-not way, Hava Nagila encapsulates the Jewish journey over the past 150 years. It also reveals the power of one song to express and sustain identity, to transmit lessons across generations and to bridge cultural divides and connect us all on a universal level.

Review For Hava Nagila: The Movie
An entertaining examination of the "kitschy and profound" song's cultural and historical origins.Loren King-Boston Globe
It's a fun, nostalgic, informative journey.
Gary Goldstein-Los Angeles Times
The attitude is so much fun and the story so involving that a little naches is forgivable.
John Anderson-Newsday
Even the occasional bad jokes feel like part of this story.
Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger
What you get is an awful lot of filler, including every performer who ever sang "Hava Nagila," from Harry Belafonte to Glen Campbell using it as the flip side to "True Grit."
Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post
The filmmakers mix the playful and serious, with only occasional lapses.
Rachel Saltz-New York Times
It is annoying, frustrating, embarrassing, and irresistible, which makes it a perfect Rorschach test and intriguing metaphor for contemporary Jewish identity.
Nell Minow-Beliefnet
What does it mean? Do we really care? We should.
Ron Wilkinson-Monsters and Critics
Balancing the anecdotal with the informative, this charming docu at once celebrates and explains the origins of the iconic Jewish tune.
Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com
As one interviewee says the song "is a melody that evokes new life, hope, and joy." The song does that and so does HAVA NAGILA (THE MOVIE).
Mark R. Leeper-Mark Leeper's Reviews
Fun and illuminating...The movie as well as the song serve as fitting, entertaining testaments to the resilience of the Jewish people.
Fr. Chris Carpenter-Movie Dearest
Entertainingly traces the origins of the ubiquitous song and how it became worldwide kitsch [but] gets wearyingly redundant like a party that has gone on too long.
Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com
Everything you ever wanted to know about Hava Nagila but were afraid to ask, except:: 'What's the deal with the ritual of raising a chair in the air like you don't care?'
Kam Williams-NewsBlaze
One of those rare, crowd-pleasing documentaries that compels you to tap your toes and leaves you with a great big smile on your face from ear to ear upon exiting the theater.
Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru
Comprehensive yet lighthearted dissection of one very popular song is a pretty surefire audience winner.
David Noh-Film Journal International
Grossman deserves kudos for this unique nonfiction celebration of a timeless musical favorite. And as I never get to say in my Episcopalian church services: Mazel Tov!
Phil Hall-Film Threat
The doc can at times feel like you're wasting your time on a subject you might wish you had only accidentally crossed paths with briefly on Wikipedia.
