 edmah is an ensemble of Musicians and prayer leaders excavating the power
  and beauty of Mizrahi Jewish expression through ancient poetry and song
 . Led by Rabbi Yosef Goldman and Yoni Avi Battat\, Kedmah honors the ar
 tists’ Iraqi\, Syrian\, and Yemenite ancestry in conversation with their
  intersecting musical influences.\n\nFrom Temple times to today\, piyyuti
 m utilize complex and beautiful poetry to infuse spirit and meaning into 
 both sacred and ordinary moments of human experience. The stirring melodie
 s are rooted in the illustrious tradition of maqam- a distinct system of m
 usical expression found exclusively in the music of the Arab world - with 
 similar systems in places like Turkey\, Iran\, and North Africa.\n\nKedmah
  honors and reinvents these living sacred traditions rendered with deep re
 verence for tradition and boldly adapted with an ear towards our modern mu
 sical world.\n\nSchedule\n\n 	6:30 - 7:15 Pre Concert Lecture / Text Study
  with Rabbi Yosef Goldman Sponsored by Hadar Boston\n 	7:30-9:30 Performan
 ce\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nPre-concert lecture / text study with Rabbi Yosef Goldman
 \n\nSinging Toward Freedom: Unlocking a Pesach Piyyut\n\nPiyyut is a spiri
 tual technology—poetry written to be sung\, designed to do something tha
 t study alone cannot. Join Rabbi Yosef Goldman to explore Melekh Go’el u
 -Moshia’\, a beloved Baghdadi piyyut sung from Purim through the Seder n
 ight. We’ll unpack how the poet artfully weaves together Exodus\, Ezekie
 l\, and the Mekhilta\, situating us inside the story of liberation and the
  pivot from embodied memory to preparing for the liberation ahead. This is
  the perfect preparation for Nisan\, the head of months: the season of fir
 st and final redemption.\n\nMusicians:\n\nYoni Avi Battat - oud\, violin\,
  viola\, vocals\n\nRabbi Yosef Goldman - vocals\, percussion\n\nRabbi Jess
 ica Kate Meyer - vocals\n\nAnat Halevi Hochberg - vocals\n\nJames Heazlewo
