What makes JATM so unique is the exploration of Jewish history and culture through the lense of Jewish music. Multimedia Workshop By combining a multimedia presentation with live musical examples, you get a snappy, fast-paced, and exciting experience! While images flash on the screen accompanied by music both live and recorded, the audience is fully engaged in the subject matter. There is also emphasis on interactivity which is great for teen and college audiences. MJM Workshop MJM Clinic Past Workshops
Worldwind tour of Jewish history through music: Starting from the Temple, we will take a wild ride through the vast geographic landscape of world Jewry, looking at various instruments and talking about various references to music in Judaism.
Covenant: Wedding music and traditions from the Jewish world. Understand how music is a key component in elevating our spiritual level at any simcha (joyous event). Explore how Jews have been getting married since the time of Yakov up until now in places like Poland, Casablanca, Baghdad, and how Jews are getting married in Israel today.
Music and Torah: An in-depth exploration of music references in Kabbalah, Midrash, Tanakh, and from various Rebbeim. We can understand the spiritual side of Judaism through its music. Learn why almost 10% of our entire population were employed as professional musicians in the ancient kingdom of Israel. In fact, more musicians were employed by the state than Kohanim!
Niggunim: Where do they come from? What do they mean? How are they used in spiritual practice? And while we're at it, let's sing one!!

Areas of exploration include: Nusach, rhythmic and harmonic elements, music of Temple times, Israeli folk, and contemporary music incorporating "Jewish" influence. Though musical background is helpful, it is not required.
