Unfortunately, whenever I post links here, the question doesn’t show up, but I’m listening to Sergei Prokofiev’s ”Overture on Hebrew Themes”, and am stunned.
I think it’s … mournful? It seems deep.
What do you think?
Aha! Here we go, listen to this:

Don’t you think it’s one of the most beautiful things you’ve ever heard?
I find Klezmer music to be hit or miss. Some is excelelnt. Others not so much
Is Mike Wolfe from the TV show American pickers Jewish?

I know modanna is not jeweish but she already used several poems written by Suffis, is this seen as Vulgar these days?
Since there were Jewish Sufis in the Middle East during the 13th and 14th centuries, I would assume so. The different religions became syncretized in some cases.

Saved by the Bell.
There was a time when working in media was one of the few options for ambitious, intelligent, well-educated people who happened to be Jewish. Anything considered to be academic or high art would be under considerable pressure to appear "respectable," and cater to the segregationist views of the time. Anyone who was not (or could not pass for) white, American- or British-born, heterosexual, Christian (most likely Protestant), and often times male might be considered a risk to the company’s reputation. Since radical new media, such as film, radio, comic books and, later, television were often callously dismissed as vulgar, they tended to hire the people no one else would take — i.e. Jews. Despite the doomsday warnings of segregationist Moral Guardians, new media took off and people who once had to scramble for an employer became part of history. In short, many might say that the Jewish people who ran Hollywood did so because they were the ones who built it. Creative types usually write what they know, and despite the ever-lingering specter of anti-Semitism in the early twentieth century, many writers, directors, producers, etc. most certainly would have passed on their own perspective into their work, intentionally or not.
The men do nothing. They do no lawn mowing, raking of leaves, or any "man chores". So why are the women "allowed" to do all the cooking and cleaning and "women chores"?
I am not trying to be disrespectful, just trying to understand why some work is not allowed, and yet other work is not only allowed, but expected.
Ok, so if they prepare the food the day before, do they eat it cold?
And they still have to clean up and do dishes after, right?
You are mistaken
Man and women are prohibited from the same types of work.
Why do you think "cooking" is "women’s work"?
Note – cooking is only permitted on holidays not on Sabbath.
In our house, I do any cooking that needs to be done during the holiday.
Before refrigerators and supermarkets, most of the work having to do with food on the holiday was actualy more "male work" in the sense that it was most likely the man who had to slaughter the cow or sheep for the holiday meal.
My grandfather used to catch the chickens, kill them, pluck them, gut them… prepare them to the point you see them in the supermarket. Then my grandmother used to make the soup.
My grandfather also did all the baking in their house.
Today in many very traditional Jewish houses the specificaly pre-Shabat prep of food is likewise male in that the preparation of Chulent (special Shabat stew) is in many families regarded as something the man does.
As to cleaning – you are mostly mistaken — the majority of work necessary for cleaning is forbidden.
And again – why do you think cleaning is women’s work?
As to why certain "work" is permitted –
The things prohibited on the holidays are Melakha. Certain things defined as work in English are not Melakha.
On the other hand, certain thing that we would never think of as work in English ARE Melakha.
For example – I can move a heavy table inside my house on Shabat, but I would be violating Shabat if I kept my handkerchief in my pocket outside, or if I fliked the light switch.

@> Ok, so if they prepare the food the day before, do they eat it cold?
I never realised it was women’s work to take food out of the fridge and put it on the hot plate.
> And they still have to clean up and do dishes after, right?
Never realised it was women’s work to do dishes.
Note: No. Doing the dishes is not allowed on Shabat or holidays. We stack it all for after.
one I think is James Cameron.
yeah good point Zac. Is that supposed to be a knock on Jewish Americans?
Seriously?
Um. . . Birth Of A Nation. Something tells me you’ll enjoy it.

I love bhajans, nasheeds, shabads, hymns, and I want to explore into traditional jewish music
I tried finding a classical version of Eliyahu Hanavi on YouTube but most seemed pretty modernized

Niggun/Nigun
Specifically, (C)hassidic Nig(g)un.
You’ll find many for streaming on Chabad.org:
http://www.chabad.org/multimedia/media_cdo/aid/254237/jewish/Jewish-Music.htm
If you want, I have a somewhat large collection of Jewish music. Drop me an email through Y! Answers and I’ll see what I can do..
In Judaism the Niggun, or melody (translation) is an extremely significant aspect. Through the Nigun we can accomplish great heights and spiritual awakening. Different Chassidic groups have their own niggunim (plural), and even their own styles of niggunim. Breslov (alternately spelled Breslev) niggunim, for example, are usually more focused on awakening the heart purely and simply. Chabad niggunim, on the other hand (such as what you’ll find on the site I posted above), are more focused on an intellectual/contemplative journey, used as a tool to help one on his/her journey to rise to the depths of Heaven.
Some Breslov niggunim:

During the Nazi occupation of Poland was nude photography and painting unacceptable? Was this in Germany or worldwide? Could this be a result of the disturbing images and mass murder of the Jewish?
Please let me know your thoughts 
Thanks
Mattapan26’s answer is one of the most ignorant answers I have ever read on Yahoo Answers. Poland was the first country attacked by nazi Germany. Polish army was the first army that fought nazis in the World War II. Poland had one of the biggest resistance movements in the whole nazi occupied Europe, far more succesful than French or Yugoslav. Poles staged probably the most heroic act of resistance against the German occupation – Warsaw Uprising of 1944, after which about 85% of the city was razed to the ground. During the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Polish Home Army and People’s Guard supported the uprising smuggling weapons and attacking German units outside of the ghetto. Anyone that survived the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising survived only because of the help of the Polish resistance. It was Polish soldier and resistance fighter Jan Karski who reported to the Allies, Polish government in exile and F. D. Roosevelt on the situation in German occupied Poland, the Holocaust and destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto. What exactly American Jews did to help the European Jews? Suggesting that Poles collaborated with Germans in destruction of European Jewry or were indifferent towards the Polish Jews is simply untrue. Remember that about 18-20% of the population of Poland were killed during the war. Apart from the Polish Jews nearly three millions of Slavic Poles died (one million in concentration camps). First prisoners of Auschwitz were Poles, not Jews, so suggesting that Poles were "not disturbed" is stupid and ignorant.
