Victor Folkdance Orchestra

The lyrics to "Mayim, Mayim" come directly from the Book of Isaiah (chapter 12, verse 3): 

"With joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation." 

The dance was created in 1937 for a festival to celebrate the discovery of water in the desert in the kibbutz Na'an after a 7 year search.
