Jewish music has been around as long as Judaism, and there have been Jews for 3800 years, while Jewish communities have thrived in every country on earth. What are the origins of Nusach, the modes and traditions of Jewish music, and in what ways has it been affected by the musical experiences of the many eras and cultures in which Jews have chanted and sung sacred and secular music? How have these modes become expressive of Jewish life itself, and how have they changed through encounters with contemporary musical trends and technologies? Rabbi Samuel Cohon is the presenter.
