1953–54 Liga Alef
The 1953–54 Liga Alef season saw Maccabi Tel Aviv were crowned champions for the third successive time, whilst Eliezer Spiegel of Maccabi Petah Tikva was the league's top scorer with 16 goals. No clubs were relegated as the league was expanded to 14 clubs in the following season.
Although league matches ended on 13 March 1954, the confirmation of the league's final standings was delayed, as a match between Maccabi Haifa and Maccabi Petah Tikva, which was played on 26 December 1953 and ended with a 3–2 win for Haifa, was claimed to be fixed, to allow Maccabi Haifa to win. Eventually, on 10 January 1955, the IFA decided to replay the match in a neutral venue, Maccabi Haifa won the rematch 4–1 and secured their spot in the top division. However, with the IFA already deadlocked with an ongoing dispute between Hapoel and Maccabi, Beitar declared its resignation from the IFA in protest of the IFA decision to replay the Maccabi Haifa-Maccabi Petah Tikva match. Discussions were held with the help of Judge Yosef-Michael Lamm, and an agreement between the factions was reached on 28 January 1955, confirming the results of the season and reprieving Beitar Tel Aviv and Hapoel Balfouria from relegation.

Like I Love You
by: Amy GrantWhy do lovers drift apart and how does love fade away?
When do pieces of a broken heart mend again?
You've been crying in the dark and you've been feeling alone
Don't be scared of what you'll find when you turn the light on
Ain't nobody gonna say goodbye, no ain't nobody gonna walk away
This time, baby, I'm learning how to love you, love you
Ain't nobody gonna make you cry
No ain't nobody ever really tried to love you like I love you
What sad memory of yesterday, what terrible scar
Keeps you gathering the pieces of your shattered heart?
There was once upon a time when hope was living within
I know there will come another time when you can believe again
Ain't nobody gonna say goodbye, no ain't nobody gonna walk away
This time, baby, I'm learning how to love you, love you
Ain't nobody gonna make you cry
No ain't nobody ever really tried to love you like I love you
How long have you been feeling lonely?
How long have you been sad and blue?
This time, baby, I'm learning how to love you, love you
Ain't nobody gonna make you cry
No ain't nobody ever really tried
To love you like I love you
This time, baby, I'm learning how to love you, love you
