Sounds of the Soul - The Contribution of Jewish Music

Music is an integral part of Jewish life. From synagogue prayer services to at home religious observances, we pass our histories, myths, and legends through story and song. While Jews have dispersed many times, we've always taken our music with us.

Jewish writers, composers, and performers have made major contributions to the world of music. "Nobody does it better".  Some of the Jewish names in this video may surprise you. It was shown for the first time at the recent Genesis 2016 awards ceremony in Israel.

Enjoy!
