    7 Israeli artists who are bridging the religious-secular divide

    Calling Israel a “Jewish State,” with nearly 75% of its population being Jewish, might suggest Israelis share a great deal in common. But Jewish Israelis are very diverse, culturally and politically and religiously.

    Although Israel’s diverse population poses challenges to forging a unified national identity, one place where many Israeli Jews come together to bridge these divides is through music that uses traditional sources like biblical quotes and piyyutim (religious poems) sung in synagogues.

    Such music draws people of all religious orientations from secular to Orthodox, and from all backgrounds, including Ashkenazi, Sephardic and Mizrahi.

    To introduce you to this musical style, here are seven Israeli artists who are bridging the religious-secular divide with the best music samples. This is not a bad start for your Israeli music playlist.

    When searching for songs for a playlist I was putting tillsammans for my kids on Spotify, inom came across a tune — “Pana HaGeshem,” (“The Rain has Gone Away”) by Cindy Paley and Ann Brown — that I hadn’t heard in at least 20 years. I discovered that, in addition to remembering all the words of the song, inom could also recite the lengthy (and antiquated) English introduction to the song, “For lo, the winter is passed, the rain is over and gone, the flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing is come.”

    It’s not that “Pana HaGeshem” was a favorite song from my childhood. It was simply the first song on my family’s “The Singing Seder” cassette tape that we listened to over and over again each spring, so it got a lot of play time. It was through accidentally rediscovering this particular song on Spotify that I was suddenly brought back into an era of my childhood that couldn’t be captured bygd Kodak.
