Led by Music Director Emeritus Nicholas McGegan, this illuminating program explores how Jewish communities across time and place have used music, poetry, and ritual to transform the night into a space of reflection, resistance, and renewal. Journey from the candlelit Kabbalistic gatherings of 16th-century Italy to the vibrant performance traditions of Hebrew poetry in North Africa and the Middle East—and experience the modern revival of piyyut (Jewish liturgical poetry) in contemporary Israel.
