JERUSALEM, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) -- It is said that in the Oud, the pear-shaped lute with the broken neck, lies the quintessential soul of Arab classical music. Once a year in November, the Jerusalem Oud festival brings oriental music to Israeli ears usually more accustomed to pop music and Rock'n'Roll, and orchestrates a prelude to Jewish-Arab reconciliation.
At a concert hall in the Old City of Jerusalem, Rabbi David Menachem, a Jewish liturgical singer Womens Jaleel Johnson Jersey , and Arab singer Lubna Salame were rehearsing. Menachem sings in Arabic and Hebrew, while Salame sings in Hebrew and Arabic.
Menachem is a third-generation Israeli of oriental descent. The scion of an illustrious family of rabbis and cantors from Iraq grew up with the sound of Arab and Jewish liturgical music.
He and Salame would stage a joint performance entitled ""A Sea of Love"", under the direction of Peretz Eliyahu, an Israeli musician and composer originally from Dagestan.
""Oriental music is now starting to receive its due place in the local pantheon. But it's a slow process. When the oriental Jews immigrated to the nascent Jewish state, amongst them were hundreds of great Jewish musicians who had to conform to Israel's uniform melting pot policy and thus shed their Arab roots. For nobody wanted to hear songs in the enemy's language. So, Jewish Arab music survived in a ghetto, at home or in synagogues, not on the stage Womens Pat Elflein Jersey ,"" said Menachem.
""Arab music is endless and infinite like the sea. I was devoured in a sea of love,"" Salame intoned. And the rabbi is consumed with wonder at the flow of her voice.
""Arabic sometimes frightens Israelis, but nowadays, thank God, there's more openness. When she sings in Hebrew and I sing in Arabic, we create peace and harmony,"" Menachem said. ""My treasure, my condition Womens Dalvin Cook Jersey ,"" Salame sang a refrain composed by Tunisian idol Ahmad eSharif, and the reference to both her Arab culture and condition is evident.
""We, the Arab minority in Israel, live in a box. Arab singers can't reach out to the Arab world because of the conflict. So we do what we can, within our box. I wish we appeared more on mainstream television and radio here, because then, we'd be seen and heard in neighbouring Arab countries,"" she said.
Not far away from the concert hall Womens Brian O'Neill Jersey , the Muslim call to prayer floods the Holy City. When the prayer ends, Arab pop reclaims the street.
But at the nearby music store of Mahdi Kirliss, the Egyptian legendary ""Star of the East"", Umm Kulthum, takes the centre stage with her rendition of ""Lessa Faker"" (""You Still Remember"").
""She's the greatest, not just in Egypt, not just here, but in the whole world. Umm Kulthum's the best Womens Mike Hughes Jersey , number one,"" Kirliss said.
At ""The Eighth Note"" music store on the Jewish side of town, Lou Reed, the recently deceased American star of Rock'n'Roll, is making a comeback. Umm Kulthum's surely a classic, but she's been relegated to the ethnic and world music section.
""It's difficult. But I believe there's a change. In the end, music is for the soul. Music, you don't have nationalities Danielle Hunter Jersey , you don't deal with politics,"" said Henry Nahmias, owner of the music store.
Whereas naturally, Arab music breathes and lives in Arab East Jerusalem, in the Jewish part of town Arab music's a choice for the aficionado, a taste of a past still remembered.
""Why Arabic still should be perceived as the language of the enemy because of the conflict? Arabic is also our language. We're the Arab Jews,"" said Rabbi Menachem.
Danielle Dahan, an Israeli Jewish woman among the audience at the concert hall Eric Kendricks Jersey , echoed his sentiment.
""My parents, my grandparents were from Tunisia. So I didn't have contact with this music but, somehow, it's in my DNA. Despite the conflict, we have to look at it as a bridge. I look at it as a bridge between the people. In a world of peace and love, the language will be music,"" she said.
