I have a an American friend who is Jewish, and her daughter married a Czech man. At the wedding in his village, the band played the Moldau. All of the Czech folk at the wedding were pleased to hear this iconic Czech piece, and all the Jews from the brides side were please because they thought the band was playing Hatikvah, the Israeli national anthem, which sounds a bit like the Moldau.
