Jewish Nightlife: An Evening of Celebration with Poetry and Music, Berkeley, CA, 18 Dec 2014

Jewish Nightlife: An Evening of Celebration with Poetry and Music | Featuring UC Berkeley Students and the Piyut Bay Area Project directed by Yair Harel


Thursday, December 18, 5:00pm - 8:30pm
The Magnes
2121 Allston Way,
Berkeley, California 94704

Jewish Nightlife is a multi-disciplinary exploration of the nexus between the ritual performance of Jewish texts and social changes across Jewish history, including Hebrew poetry, music, and synagogue liturgy in Europe, in North Africa, the Middle East, and present-day Israel.

During the Fall Semester 2014, the project involved research, teaching, performance, and community participation. Thirty UC Berkeley undergraduate students participated in a new UC Berkeley course, team-taught by dr. Francesco Spagnolo, Curator of The Magnes, and Yair Harel, Schusterman Visiting Artist. During the same period, a group comprised of graduate students, artists, educators and clergy from the San Francisco Bay Area met weekly at The Magnes, researching and performing piyyutim, or Hebrew liturgical poems.

To celebrate the completion of this project, the program will include solo and ensemble performances by UC Berkeley students (5-6 pm) and participants in the Piyut Bay Area Project (7-8 pm), led by Yair Harel.

The program is free and open to the public.
