Abstract:
The basic style of East-European Jewish (East-Ashkenazic) prayer chant (davenen), even when it might seem to be simple on paper, in transcription, has a complex and unique system of micro-structure. This micro-structure, which is evident in subtleties of rhythm and melody, voice quality, form, techniques of variation and ornamentation, is inventive and daring, and creates a compelling aesthetic and spiritual effect in the auditory experience. The present article discusses the question of how this creative compositional practice might have evolved. The article claims that the uniqueness of dave

Abstract:
The term midrash has a specific meaning and a broader one. Specifically, midrash refers to the post Talmudic body of writings (post-500 C.E.) such as Midrash Rabbah and Pirke de-Rabi Eliezer. In broader terms, midrash has come to mean a Jewish story that explains, clarifies, or elaborates on an event or passage in the Torah. There are many stories in midrasnhic sources that are appropriate and valuable to retell for children. A retelling of the story "Solomon and the Demon King," for instance, can captivate a fifth grader today who plays computer games and rides a skateboard, just as much as i

Abstract:
Heading the list of horizons unexplored when my study of the cult of St Cecilia appeared in 1995 was a strong suspicion that music's mysterious patroness sprang from a Jewish milieu, and that traces of Jewish influence persisted in her cult well into the Middle Ages. But the evidence was cloudy, and no discussion of my suspicion found its way into the book beyond the bare statement that Cecilia may have belonged to an early Jewish-Christian community.1Now that the evidence is clearer, and the suspicion better founded, it is time to set forth that evidence. I do so here, and at the outset point

This article is based on the musical material and interviews the author collected in Hungary, France, Czechoslovakia, the USA and Israel in the course of thirty years of her fieldwork among the traditional East-Ashkenazi Jews. It relates to the aesthetic concepts of the prayer chant of the Ashkenazi Jews of East Europe (?East -Ashkenazim?) as it appears to have existed before World War II, survived in the oral tradition until the 1970s and exists sporadically up to the present.

Abstract:
Music historians are virtually unanimous in attributing the source of early Christian psalmody to the synagogue. In this they follow the vast majority of liturgical scholars, Protestant and Catholic alike. There is, after all, considerable plausibility to the view: nascent Christianity was a Jewish sect and its first liturgical gatherings shared with the synagogue its most revolutionary characteristic – the coming together of co-religionists in a meeting room rather than the witnessing of sacrifice in a temple court. Moreover, the liturgical practices of these gatherings resembled those of the

Abstract:
The presence of Jewish astrologers in the Portuguese court of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries is frequently mentioned in the chronicles of the kings. In 1496, King Manuel I forced the Jews to choose between conversion to Catholicism and expulsion. Those noblemen had to leave the court, and many of them also left the kingdom. In 1529, King João III created the position of Royal Cosmographer, the mathematician Pedro Nunes being the first to occupy the position. Pedro Nunes was apparently a severe opponent of astrology except for one episode: a few days before the coronation of King Sebast

Abstract:
This thesis studies the melodic elements of the klezmer music genre. First, the reader will observe the work of klezmer scholar Joshua Horowitz, who describes the basis of the klezmer genre as a set of four modes. As per convention, these modes are scale-based, but are additionally motivic in nature. Second, a similar modal system will be examined; that of the Synagogue Prayer Modes, which were identified primarily through the work of Jewish music scholars Abraham Zvi Idelsohn, and later, Baruch Joseph Cohon.

Abstract:
Two challenges exist for learning Jewish Liturgical Chant: the fact that traditional modal chants are relatively inaccessible for those who do not read notated music, and the problem of how to indicate phrases within liturgical texts for those who do not know Classical Hebrew grammar. This presentation and analysis of Simanei Nusach, a new system of graphic symbols for Jewish Liturgical Chant, addresses both of these concerns. If an adult lay religious leader is learning to lead worship services, and he or she does not read notated music, the primary methodology for learning has been

Abstract:
Chapter 3 shows that the sacrificium texts were shaped by traditions of patristic biblical exegesis that circulated on the Iberian Peninsula, through the writings of Isidore and others. In this way, the chant advanced the bishops’ goals of identity formation and the teaching of doctrine. Passages of the Old Testament are transformed through an extensive repositioning and rewording, often changing the semantic meaning of the original. The new texts promoted a Christianized experience and understanding of the Old Testament. Through their delineation of clear boundaries between Christian and Jewish observances, the chants are connected to contemporaneous anti-Jewish discourse and law, and were a conduit for the formation of a Gothic, Nicene identity. As a product of the distinctive intellectual culture that produced them, the chant texts were designed in accordance with the goals of the Visigothic cultural program: shaping a kingdom and church unified in Nicene belief.

Abstract:
This chapter examines strategies where individual Jews employ digital technology to sustain and transmit musical traditions of Torah and haftarah trope, a core element of contemporary Jewish worship. While these examples focus more on personal agency than institutional sustainability, they underscore new approaches to integrating meaningful ritual into the lives of these liberal Jews. Even as certain contemporary Jews have moved away from traditional structures of learning and authority–synagogues, religious schools, rabbis, and cantors–they have developed and supported innovative means to transmit the music performance of biblical chant used in bar/bat mitzvah celebrations in a way that sustains traditional rituals while empowering their personal style of Jewish expression and identity.

Abstract:
Jewish communities in the Soviet and French Zones faced distinct situations when reconstituting musical practices. As the Soviets had not established Displaced Persons camps in their zone, only predominantly native Jews populated the communities. This affected worship as the musical practices of the Israelitische Religionsgemeinde zu Leipzig reveal. The community closely adhered to prewar customs. Outside of service, the community’s efforts paralleled those underway in mainstream Germany, specifically in the reinstatement of composers censored by the Nazis due to their Jewish descent or their nonconformist compositional style. The few Jewish communities in the French Occupation Zone faced a dearth of members, thus lacking a crucial foundation for spurring the restoration of musical practices. The musical practices in all zones of occupation share four overarching tendencies: the performance of prayer chants as cantors knew them, the adherence to classical music inside and outside worship, the inclusion of previously censored repertoires, and the fostering of Yiddish music.

Abstract:
Rashi’s Commentary became deeply and diversely embedded in Jewish life and has remained so, but modernity’s disintegrative and fragmenting effect took its toll, meaning one can also find signs in recent centuries of the work’s decanonization. Yet despite clear signs of its marginalization there are corresponding indicators of the Commentary’s ongoing influence and abiding contemporaneity. The variety of manners and modes in which the Commentary figures in Jewish life reflects the divergent and at times conflicting Jewish cultural spaces that it inhabits. Without attempting to chart all twists and turns, the Afterword provides a tour d’horizon that evokes key reference points in this story, providing a basis for detailed study of the Commentary’s modern fate.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the famous alt-right American supremacists chant “Blood and Soil,” which translates to Blut und Boden in German. It explains that Blut und Boden paid tribute to idealized pure German blood and the organic connection of pure German blood to the physical German landscape. Blut und Boden was appropriated by the Nazis and used to invoke an almost supernatural union between the authentic German–Nordic race and the territorial state of Germany, which contemplated those who were not of pure German blood as invading nomadic races, such as Jews. Jews were the worst of the invaders. The chapter also provides information on a book published in 1930 called Neuadel aus Blut und Boden (A new nobility based on blood and soil) by Richard Walther Darré who argued that Germany should pursue a systematic eugenics program to purify the German race and strengthen the nation.

Abstract:
This chapter examines a new form of literature that emerged in twelfth-century England, the collections of Marian miracle stories, designed to prove through reasoned argument that Mary was worthy of devotion. Marian miracle collections first appeared in English monasteries in the early twelfth century, depicting the imagined rewards of entreating Mary to act on their behalf. The Marian genre was a further expression of the drive to record letters, laws, histories, and hagiographies that pervaded Anglo-Norman monastic culture. In order to understand the part the miracle story played in the development of the Marian cult, the chapter traces its inception and early development within wider literary and devotional patterns. It also considers the prayers, chants, offices, and feast days that lie at the heart of the universal miracle collections before concluding with a discussion of how the miracle stories were communicated in the liturgy.
