Jewish Music

Mah Nishtanah (Hebrew: מה נשתנה) is a song from the Haggadah, known as  The Four Questions.

Mah Nishtanah is sung during the Passover seder. The song name " Mah Nishtanah "means what has changed?, and it is taken from the first line of the song.
It is a custom that the Four Questions are asked by the youngest child at the table who is able to read.

Ma'oz Tzur (Hebrew:מעוז צור) is a Jewish piyyut. The hymn is named after its first two words in Hebrew, which mean "Stronghold of Rock" as a name for G-d.

It is written in Hebrew, and is sung on during Hanukkah, after lighting the festival lights. The name is a reference to the Hasmonean stronghold of Beth-zur.

A Nigun (Hebrew: ניגון‎) is a form of Jewish religious song or tune sung by groups. It's a vocal music, often used with repetitive sounds, instead of formal lyrics.

Sometimes, verses from the Old Testament or quotes from other classical Jewish texts are sung repetitively to creat the Nigun.

Piyyut (Hebrew; פִּיּוּט; Greek: ποιητής) is a lyrical composition with the intention to embellish an obligatory prayer or any other religious ceremony.
