Yair Harel, Director
Thursday, December 18, 5-8 pm

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. The program includes solo and ensemble performances by UC Berkeley students and participants in the Piyut North America project at The Magnes, led by Israeli visiting artist, Yair Harel.
Presented by the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life with the Center for Jewish Studies, the Berkeley Center for the Study of Religion, and the Berkeley Institute for Jewish Law and Israel Studies.
