Yehluma Yehluma - Rabbi Avraham Dwek Hacohen's Piyut
The Meir Institute's 'Makam Baleb' program, hosted by Rabbi Ziv Rova, explores traditional liturgical poems known as piyutim. In each episode, the rabbi explains the hidden meanings of a specific piece before performing it alongside the Gan Roveh Ensemble. This specific installment focuses on 'Yehluma, Yehluma,' a well-known piyut originating from the Jewish community of Aleppo, Syria, composed roughly 130 years ago. The episode features an explanation of the lyrics followed by a musical rendition.
