THE MOMENT AND MOMENTUM OF KOL NIDRE: A MULTI-LAYERED ANALYSIS OF YOM KIPPUR’S GRAND OVERTURE
Free
What makes the moment of Kol Nidre so unique? In our joint presentation, we will probe the grand overture of the Day of Atonement, liturgically, musically and as a performative event. Our discussion will commence with Kol Nidre as a significant “liturgical moment”. We will show the unique collection of its melodic constructs and the degrees of freedom for the performer in the affective vigor of this liturgical moment.
Presenters: Ruth HaCohen (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem) and Boaz Tarsi (Jewish Theological Seminary)
