In 1939, lyricist Yip Harburg and composer Harold Arlen wrote "Over the Rainbow" for the blockbuster movie "The Wizard of Oz." Generations have loved this song and many have delved into the meaning behind its transcendent lyrics. In this lecture, we will explore the origins of the song and its long and varied career, examine its Jewish connections, and offer and explanation for how it came to represent one of America's most beloved "secular hymns."
