About the series: This series will address three aspects of the making, interpretation and apprehension of music: modes of perception, historically located social contexts and social responsibility or a musical ethics. All three of these overarching topics will be informed by Jewish sources and Jewish contexts.
About the lecture: The death of Solomon resulted in the establishment of two kingdoms, Israel in the north and Judah in the south. Both entities are mentioned in contemporary documents from Aram, Moab, Assyria and Babylonia. In two texts the kingdom of Judah is called not “Judah,” but rather “the House of David”! Our tour of these artifacts will bring us to the world’s great museum collections: the Louvre, the British Museum, and the Israel Museum.
About the lecture: Learn about the literary and archaeological evidence from both Egypt and Israel relate to ancient Israelites. Biblical accounts concerning the slavery, the exodus, the wandering and the settlement in Canaan are treated against the backdrop of ancient Near Eastern evidence, with an attempt to dovetail Israel’s own narrative with the data emerging from two centuries of archaeological exploration in the Near East.
