The tradition of Jewish liturgical poems called piyutim dates back at least 1400 years and continues as a creative channel of expression into the present moment. Piyutim reached an especially high level of excellence in medieval Spanish Hebrew poetry as composed by stellar writers such as Shelomo Ibn Gabirol, Yehuda HaLevi, and Moses and Abraham Ibn Ezra. Piyutim have enjoyed a recent resurgence in Israel’s musical culture where their potency has proven to transcend time and place and to find a home in hearts both secular and observant.
