Singing Across Borders

This lecture explores the vibrant musical traditions that have historically connected Jewish and Muslim communities in Morocco and continue to resonate today in Israel. Through melodies, lyrics, and the stories they carry, it shows how music preserves collective memory, transmits cultural values, and fosters a sense of shared identity across generations. Attendees will discover how song can transcend religious and national boundaries, creating spaces for dialogue, empathy, and mutual understanding, even in times of conflict! By tracing these musical ties, the lecture celebrates the enduring bonds that link communities across borders.
