The words for Hineh Ma Tov come from Psalm 133, and have been set to a number of melodies. One of those melodies was used in the 1950’s by Rivka Sturman when she created a simple circle dance which is still done today. This version of Hineh Ma Tovwas created in 2000 by Silvio Berlfein. Loui Tucker presented this at the 2006 Stockton Folk Dance Camp.
2/4 meter.
