Is it the words or the music or both? Most jewish music these days have goyishe tunes…what makes them Jewish?
sorry. i should have said that i was looking for jewish answers…
Any Jewish music like the Chevra, Avraham Fried, MBD, MBC, YBC, etc.
the tunes are usually not jewish. why is it still considered Jewish music?
I love this question, too, and did some research a while ago. Just like Jews and Jewish food, our music comes in all nationalities and flavors: Ladino, Kletzmer, Mizrahi, Israeli Folk, Classical, and Hassidic Nigunim. Yiddish and Kletzmer from Eastern Europe, for example has become identified as "Jewish" when actually it’s originally indigenous to Goyishke Eastern European folk or worse burlesque (a friend played some of the original tunes and words and translated the Yiddish – it would burn your ears–heavy metal has nothing on it!). So there has been a conversion process with all these types of music so to speak. Cossack dances, Polish military marches, East European folk songs, Near Eastern dance tunes, Turkish chants, Ladino folk, and even Central European waltzes were all secular and non-Jewish melodies that could be transformed into Jewish music, even Holy nigunim or chants. This was not considered a problem for Hasidim. On the contrary, Hasidic thought contains a notion of tikkun (literally, "fixing"), whereby non-Jewish or secular melodies can be spiritually redeemed and restored to their religious state by being sung as meditations, either with new religious lyrics or without words altogether.
According to a well known tale, the Kalever Tsadik, Isaac Eizik (Toib) of Kalev (1744-1821), was once walking in the Ukrainian forest when he heard a pastoral shepherd singing a love song in Ukrainian. The Hasid was captivated by the song, whose lyrics spoke of the shepherd’s longing for his love, separated from him by the vast forest. The Hasidic Rebbe took the song and translated the lyrics into Yiddish, replacing the lyrics’ description of secular love with a description of his soul’s longing for the Shekhina, the mystical divine presence (of God). He then asked the shepherd to sing the song, but the young man found he had forgotten it. Whereupon the Hasid exclaimed, ""I have purified the nigun and returned it to its holy sources!"
Or, stories are also told where tunes can start out sacred, and then go through the secular world and back again — like “A Gilgul fun a Niggun” (“The Transmigration or Reincarnation of a Melody”): The tale is about a nigun/melody that wanders from town to town in Eastern Europe. The nigun begins its life as a wedding melody composed for a Hasidic rebbe, then wanders from town to town in Eastern Europe where various people hear it and borrow it temporarily. From the wedding, it goes on to become a Jewish memorial prayer in another shtetl, then moves via Kiev to the Yiddish theater in Warsaw, only to end up being played as a poor organ-grinder’s tune in the circus. The nigun’s wanderings continue from house to house, person to person, town to town, and, eventually, back to the Hasidic rebbe. But the melody’s migration is not yet done. At the tale’s end, it departs with one of its bearers to a new destination: America.
Breath, sound, rhythm, tunes, and lyrics can communicate the Divine Presence. The transformation from secular to Jewish involves that Divine Presence. If it still sounds secular or non-Jewish, it’s because it still lacks the rectification or tikkun. This is why some Rock can sound Jewish and some not so Jewish, or why some Burlesque Kletzmer can and some not. As far as how that gets put into the music, it just is done by people who have it. The music is a conveyor or door or reflection of some Ruach Jews know and carry.
"There are gates in heaven that cannot be opened except by melody and song." -Zohar
Please define what exactly is considered jewish music? is it music by a jew? or is it have to have a certain style? Does it have to be only hebrew lyrics?
I would say that music written or compsed by a Jew does not make it Jewish music. That makes it plainly music made by a Jew. Jewish music would be music relating to the religion. An example of a group that produces jewish music is the chevra. http://www.thechevra.com/ is their website
For english i’m writing a research paper and my topic is music and musicians in concentration camps. i need a thesis that comebody can argue against. So far i have that music in the camps provided hope and helped the prisoners survive, but i don’t know if anybody can argue against that…?
Capitalize English.
In most camps, any expression of joy or hope was crushed ruthlessly. Songs were included. If you were singing, the Nazis thought we were insolent or worse – praying. In some rare exceptions, a musician might be allowed to play "German" works for the Kommandant and such, but never for him/herself.
One exception was in Theresienstadt. They were a "show" camp until they were liquidated into Auschwitz. One of the more famous pieces from this camp was "Brundibar", and opera written for children by a Czech Jew, and performed in the camp for visitors. The also had a chamber ensemble and a full orchestra. The Red Cross and many foreign diplomats came for these shows, and bought the idea that Uncle Adolph was taking good care of us. The chilling and sad part is that those who performed had no such delusions, and knew what awaited them.
I suggest you start your research in this area.
For school i have to write a monologue based on a character stereotype and my person is a J.A.P and i need a song to go along with my monologue. I am Jewish but there isnt any specific type of music that i listen to that i think would be considered "J.A.Ppy". So i just need some opinions of what people might think J.A.Ps listen to. Specific songs and artists would be helpful. Thanks!
oh my, what an interesting assignment. I would imagine that you would want a song dealing with materalistic thing? That’s the only thing I really know about that stereotype.
What about "I want to be a supermodel" by
Jill Sobule?
Being Jewish in heritage I am presenting a simplified version of the passover tomorrow for a group, and some traditional jewish music would really set a good atmosphere for Jewish culture. However, I don’t have any music, so what cd/who would you recomend for background music? Or a website where I could download some?
Fiddler on the Roof soundtrack is nice.

Psalm 150:3-5 says, “Praise him with the sound of the trumpet:
praise him with the psaltery and harp.
Praise him with the timbrel and dance:
praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
Praise him upon the loud cymbals:
praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.”
It is obvious that God approved of the use of instrumental music in the Hebrew Scriptures.
Why doesn’t the Synagogue or Temple follow this example and have a more upbeat Shabbat Service?
I believe it many have something to do with the kind you went to visit. Many that I’ve watched online services for do have music and dancing.
What is the name of the song(music) at the beginning of "Don’t Ever Change" in House MD. Jewish Song? it goes like allamii my my my my my myyyyyyyyyyyyy.

I hear it in all the songs by black artists. "I wanna get with Jew" or "make love with Jew". I even heard one that said they wanted to get freaky with Jew?
