The Language Of Music – Songs Of The Diaspora with Dr. Talya Berger
February 12 @ 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM EST
**The Language Of Music – Songs Of The Diaspora **
In the centuries following dispersion from their ancestral lands and Spain,
the Jews, scattered around the globe, developed an enormously rich diversity
of musical traditions while preserving, for the most part, common liturgical
texts. Explore the lesser-known musical traditions from Iraq, Syria, Turkey,
Yemen, Algeria, Morocco, India, Ethiopia and North America, as well as Europe,
in this class experience.
Discuss topics such as, the influence of local cultures, aspects of
assimilation, cultural identity, and cultural appropriation in Judaism and how
music truly is a spoken language of Judaism.
This class will include admission to a special event from SAJE (Seminars for
Adult Jewish Enrichment) at The Berman on Tuesday, May 14 at 7 PM. **Exodus 91
– The Untold Story of Operation Solomon**
This extraordinary film follows Israeli diplomat, Asher Naim, on a seemingly
insurmountable mission to bring 15,000 Ethiopian Jews to Israel. As he learns
more about these African Jews, he finds himself between worlds and faces a
crisis of faith in himself and his country. Exodus 91 is a genre-blending
docu-narrative film that weaves together narrative filmmaking, archival
footage and documentary interviews — some of which are real and some of which
are staged — to give a rich filmic experience.
