 ---------------------------------------------------------\nMIRYAM\n\nSHIR 
 LEVI’IM: A SONG OF LEVITES\nMIRYAM traces the thread of Jewish resilienc
 e and creativity from medieval Iberia to Baroque Amsterdam. Shir Levi’im
  (the song of the Levites) refers both to the ancient Levites who sang psa
 lms of worship in the Temple\, and 11th c. Sephardic poet Yehuda Halevi\, 
 whose surname evokes this musical heritage. In 1593\, Portuguese Jews bega
 n to resettle in Amsterdam\, and by 1675 the thriving community had built 
 the Esnoga or synagogue. Its library contains a wealth of historical docum
 ents including Hebrew-language musical scores spanning the late Baroque an
 d early Classical eras. This collection allows a glimpse into the rich mus
 ical life of the Portuguese Jews of Amsterdam\, who commissioned works fro
 m both Christian and Jewish composers. The program features music of Cacer
 es and Lidarti\, mystical poems by Yehuda Halevi\, and a new setting of th
 e Kaddish Shalem\, a central prayer of thanksgiving and praise.\n&nbsp\;\n
