| - For the Homeland is the national anthem of Beiteynu. It was written by members of the Beiteynu Resistance Committee following the Declaration of Re-Independence of the Fourth Jewish Homeland to be used as the official anthem. Despite "The Hope" having been the national anthem for the three previous Jewish Homelands, many felt that it had been soured by the dictatorial conditions that the Third Homeland had descended into and so a new one was needed. A little known fact is that "For the Homeland" did not legally replace "The Hope" as the national anthem, as, in a move designed to antagonize the Pontesian Catholics as well as Istalians that declared a "Holy Crusade against Jews", the government initially changed the anthem to a piece entitled "No Catholics Allowed". However, within a day this was switched to "For the Homeland". Some centuries after its creation, the anthem fell into disuse and was eventually replaced. During the Beiteynu-Luthori War, the republican parties tweaked the song's lyrics to better apply to their situation, and made it the official anthem of the Beiteynuese Republic. Although there were a few decades when the Christian Imperial Party ruled the nation under a virtual theocracy, and therefore the anthem was not the official anthem of the nation, an (again) modified version of "For the Homeland" was the official national anthem of the (then-)newly-created Commonwealth of Yishelem and Beiteynu. "For the Homeland" was reinstated as the official national anthem in 2985 by the Bismarckian National Resistance (BNR), again with slightly tweaked lyrics.
