Social Functions of Synagogue Song: A Durkheimian Approach by
Jonathan L. Friedmann paints a detailed picture of the important
role sacred music plays in Jewish religious communities. This study
explores one possible way to approach the subject of music s
intimate connection with public worship: applying sociologist Emile
Durkeim s understanding of ceremonial ritual to synagogue music.
Durkheim observed that religious ceremonies serve disciplinary,
cohesive, revitalizing, and euphoric functions within religious
communities. Drawing upon musical examples from different
composers, regions, periods, rites, and services, Friedmann
demonstrates how Jewish sacred music performs these functions.
