Yeah, we've heard the melodies from prayers in shull. But does our sense of tune go beyond that? Is the melody really just there to make the prayers more interesting? Or do Jews, both religious and secular, embrace a deeper and more meaningful heritage of music?
Jonathan Maimon, producer, and director of I Hear You, jumps onto Bad Jew with Chaz Volk to shed light on the Torah's perspective on music. They learn its importance to Judaism, how modern trends in music and dance were introduced, and the importance of preserving the past's feats while rediscovering the new.
Jonathan Maimon is a film director. His first film, “Journey from Tunisia” (2017) about his grandparents and family's journey from Tunisia to Israel, was selected to play at film festivals in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and screened in London and Europe. When he’s not working on film, he’s attending music shows, building mobile apps and websites, and playing tennis.
