Tina Frühauf expertly chronicles the history of the organ in Jewish culture from the earliest references in the Talmud through the 19th century, when it had established a firm and lasting presence in Jewish sacred and secular spaces in central Europe. Frühauf demonstrates how the introduction of the organ into German synagogues was part of the significant changes which took place in Judaism after the Enlightenment, and posits the organ as a symbol of the division of the Jewish community into Orthodox and Reform congregations. Newly composed organ music for Jewish liturgy after this division became part of a cross-cultural music tradition in 19th and 20th century Germany, when a specific style of organ music developed which combined elements of Western and Jewish cultures. Concluding with a\u003cbr\u003ediscussion of the organ in Jewish communities in Israel and the USA, the book presents in-depth case studies which illustrate how the organ has been utilized in the musical life of specific Jewish communities in the 20th century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on extensive research in the archives of organ builders and Jewish musicians, \u003cem\u003eThe Organ and Its Music in German-Jewish Culture\u003c\/em\u003e offers comprehensive and detailed descriptions of specific organs as well as fascinating portraits of Jewish organists and composers.
