Has anybody had any luck? Most of the spiritual Jewish musicians I have found have been committed Zionists which is gross.

    Old klezmer music can often be deeply beautiful and spiritual to me. https://youtu.be/Qlx9Uu3uh9M?si=I6-dYbkb0RsJjuVV https://open.spotify.com/track/44P9Y73iPiNIh0jUxaAYxv?si=GjPJJzDHSXOJNcZVmZwnOw

    It’s a tough Venn diagram you got there. There are musical antizionists who aren’t spiritual (Bundist songs, Arbeter Ring). There are Spiritual Antizionists who aren’t musical (Satmar Chasidim). If you like early 20th century Choral music, there’s Classical Reform Judaism, but essentially no contemporary congregations.

      I am in a fairly anti-zionist congregation and we have a lot of singing as part of services. Just looking for more recorded works since I can't go as often as I would like.

      Could you share some examples of Bundist songs? I have a mixed outlook on the bund, and have been wanting to explore more Jewish communist thinkers. Dubnow has been of big interest recently. I am more interested in spiritual reconstructionists than in hasids but interesting to read about the Satmar! THank you.
