Zev may refer to:
Zev (1920–1943) was an American thoroughbred horse racing Champion and National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame inductee.
A brown colt, Zev was sired by The Finn and was out of the mare Miss Kearney (by Planudes). Bred by the famous horseman John E. Madden, Zev was owned by the Rancocas Stable of Harry F. Sinclair, the founder of Sinclair Oil, who was a central figure in the Teapot Dome scandal and served time in prison.
Sinclair named the horse in honor of his friend and personal lawyer, Colonel James William (also known as J.W.) Zevely.
Trained by Sam Hildreth, as a two-year-old Zev won five of his twelve races, finished second on four occasions, and was a Champion colt of 1922.
The following year, he was the dominant three-year-old in America, winning a number of important Grade I stakes races under jockey Earl Sande. Included in his victories were the Lawrence Realization Stakes and the most prestigious race in the United States, the Kentucky Derby, for which David J. Leary was credited as trainer, as he was for the Preakness Stakes, which was run before the Kentucky Derby in 1923. Zev encountered problems in the Preakness and finished 12th but came back to win the Derby and then the Belmont Stakes.
Ze'ev (Hebrew: זְאֵב / זאב zeév) is a masculine given name relatively common among Ashkenazi Jews, especially those living in the State of Israel. It is a Biblical name, adapted from a reference to Benjamin in Genesis as a "wolf that raveneth." It re-appeared in relatively recent times as a translation of the Yiddish name װאָלף "Volf" or "Wolf," meaning literally "Wolf" in English. The name "Wolf" (in German) was relatively common among Germans.
The Bible mentions a person directly named Ze'ev, one of the Midianite leaders defeated by the Judge Gideon (see Oreb and Zeeb). However, the identical modern name is not derived from this character, an ancient enemy whom later Jews had no reason to emulate.
The name Ze'ev or Zeev may refer to:
With a gun to your head
You still wouldn't change the way you are.
And I can see your callous dreams are the reason for your greed
They are all the same - always dying to attain success and wealthiness behind closed doors
We All are fighting so hard to make you see
That we all want more than your superficial dreams
We are most mysterious creatures to kill for what we believe
We all want more
So wrap your arms around me tight
I know it's hard for you to hear
But failure is a just part of life - is harder than it seems
Cause if we were meant to fly, why are wings so hard to come by
Close the door
We All are fighting so hard to make you see
That we all want more than your superficial dreams
We are most mysterious creatures to kill for what we believe
We all want more
Left behind, life is so unkind
Why even try
We All are fighting so hard to make you see
We are most mysterious creatures to kill for what we believe
We All will open our hearts and share our dreams
We All are fighting hard to make you see
That we all want more than your superficial dreams
We are most mysterious creatures to kill for what we believe
