“In this volume, Felix Papenhagen analyzes the relationship between Jewish religiosity and Israeli popular music. He understands the popular music as a seismograph for social changes and assumes that the recent history of Israel is also predominantly reflected in its musical culture.

To demonstate this, the author conducted interviews with famous Israeli pop musicians and analyzed their lyrics with the aim of gaining insights into their understanding of religious motives.” (From the Publishers).
