Specifically, Through Heaven’s Eyes.

Also, if you know any good songs like that one, please feel free to suggest it.

"The Jewish style" of music is actually no one single style, but a wide variety of styles.

The film "Prince of Egypt" had a wonderful sound track! The music was a modern fusion of many traditional musical genres– among them Bedouin, Yemenite, liturgical, and klezmer.
That particular song, "Through Heaven’s Eyes" is a contemporary take on Middle Eastern music.
For similar songs, try a youtube search for "Israeli music".

I can think of at least 2 religions that discourage music- Islam (music, like alcohol, leads to loss of control) and Buddhism (monks abstain from music twice a month).

Yes, it is. Since about three thousand years ago music took a prominent role in Jewish religion and culture. King David and all Israelite kings would maintain a permanent choir of Levites in the Temple just to sing the Psalms during religious services. Today then, in every Synagogue even the prayers are sung instead of just lip serviced.

ex. Francisco Goya’s painting "Los desastres de La Guerra" (disasters of the war) and the painting was influenced by the war happening then…

except I want Jewish art
Thanks so much!!!

Check Klezmer on YouTube – that’s jewish music all the way, and yes, I like it…:-)

Specificall Carribean Reggae, not Dancehall, or dub. They mention Mount Zion, which is a historically sacred place in the Torah, and therefore it is symbolic of Judaism. So my question is, why is there a reference of Judaism in Reggae music?

"In the 10th century BC, the Solomonic Dynasty of Ethiopia is said to have been founded by Menelik I, the son of Solomon and Makeda, the Queen of Sheba, who had visited Solomon in Israel. 1 Kings 10:13 claims "And King Solomon gave unto the Queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants." On the basis of the Ethiopian national epic, the Kebra Negast, Rastas interpret this verse as meaning she conceived his child, and from this, conclude that African people are among the true children of Israel, or Jews. Beta Israel black Jews have lived in Ethiopia for centuries, disconnected from the rest of Judaism; their existence has given some impetus to Rastafari, as they feel it validates their assertion that Ethiopia is Zion."

also, how the nazis treated this matter? how they liked classical music that was composed by "Jewish people"?

please explain and which composers were NOT of jewish origin?

how again, and how long this has been the case all over europe?

were most classical music composers related at least partially to a jewish ancestor?

please xplain

That’s a lot of questions. I won’t venture to guess a percentage, but it certainly is nowhere near "most" of the composers. Among the most important Jewish composers were: Mendelssohn, Meyerbeer, Offenbach, Mahler, Gershwin, Copland, and Bernstein. In the latter half of the 19th century in a growing wave of antisemitism, music by Jewish composers like Mendelssohn was denigrated in Germany with Wagner leading the charge. He wrote a treatise called "Jewishness in Music" that belittled the music of the Jews saying it could never compare to the music of true Germans. It took until the 20th century before Mendelssohn’s reputation was restored.

The music of Beethoven, Wagner, and Bruckner was used in Nazi propaganda, while jewish music was outlawed. Johann Strauss II had Jewish blood and Mozart’s librettist, Da Ponte was Jewish, but the Nazis knew that the music of these two composers was too important to Germany / Austria. Hitler supposedly said, "I decide who is Jewish!" You couldn’t very well ban "The Blue Danube", "The Marriage of Figaro", and "Don Giovanni".

They don’t have an "aversion" per se. Many Chasidics I know are actually some of the most outgoing and fun-loving people you’re likely to meet.

The thing is that they tend to feel that things that don’t focus on Jewish culture or the acquisition of knowledge is unnecessary for them and needless for them to entertain. They don’t shun people who do it, for the most part, but it’s not for them, really.

The beauty of the music of the Moroccan Jews is its unique blend of Hebrew texts set to tunes borrowed from their Arab neighbors. This video was filmed on-location in Morocco and Israel in order to present the full flavor, feeling, and character of the poetry, messianic songs, and tunes that provide the foundation for authentic Moroccan jewish music. Also featured in this unique musical extravaganza are Shlomo Bar and the Habrera Hativit Ensemble. ~ Kathryn Tamms, All Movie Guide
