"A Walk to Caesarea" (), also commonly known by the opening words "Eli, Eli" (, "My God, My God") in the song version, is a poem in Hebrew written in 1942 by Hungarian Jewish World War II resistance fighter Hannah Szenes (17 July 1921 â 7 November 1944). Israeli composer David Zehavi set the poem to music in 1945. Szenes wrote the poem while residing in kibbutz Sdot Yam which is located a short distance along the Mediterranean coast from the ancient port town of Caesarea.
The song is considered one of Israel's unofficial anthems, and is the most-commonly played song on Yom HaShoah (the Holocaust Remembrance Day) in Israel.
