Because I find Jewish culture interesting, I did research on Klezmer music. Klezmer music was the traditional music of the Jews of Eastern Europe. The most influential form of musical expression in the Jewish community was the singing of the khazn. The rabbinate (the association of religious authorities) didn’t allow singing khazn because they were distracting the worshipers. The Hasidizm which is (a charismatic religious sect) created a spiritual interpretation of piety encouraging song and dance rather than religious texts. As a result, the tunes of these wordless songs later were sung on holidays and other celebrations. This transformation had a great influence on the instrumental music of the klezmer. The Klezmer word is a Yiddish contraction
