Naftali Herz Imber (Template:Lang-he-n, Template:Lang-yi; 27 December 1856 – 8 October 1909) was a Jewish poet of the Hebrew language. He is most notable for writing a poem on which "Hatikvah", the Israeli national anthem, is based. He was born in Złoczów (now Zolochiv, Ukraine), a city in Galicia, which then was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.[1]
In 1892, Imber moved to the United States. He died due to alcoholism on 8 October 1909 in New York City. He was 52.
