General theories are scarce in the current field of Jewish music research. Most attempts at all-encompassing rules or principles have proven untenable due to the complexity of the terms involved—“Jewish” and “music”—as well as the overwhelming historical and regional diversity of Jewish music cultures. Past efforts to draw maps or timelines connecting the various forms, styles, and contexts have invariably led to what Israeli musicologist Edwin Seroussi calls “unfortunate overgeneralizations.” According to Seroussi, the central flaw of such theories—whether they seek to connect various strands of musical expression to a single, longago source (commonly the Second Temple) or search for a “stable,” “unilinear,” or “authentic” musical expression—is the “ontological notion of ‘tradition,’” which “assumes the existence of unambiguous boundaries separating sonic spaces” while ignoring the complex roles of individual contributors, performance contexts, cross-cultural contacts, shifting tastes, historical circumstances, and other shaping forces. The elusiveness of a stable or definable tradition speaks to challenges in musicological inquiry more generally, where attempts at empirical or objective claims often clash with the experiential and subjective nature of the subject matter.

On December 7, 1969, Joel Brooks and Rabbi Roger E. Herst—two US Jews representing the northern California division of the American Jewish Congress (AJCongress), a major institution of organized Jewish life in the United States—moored the newly rechristened boat Shalom I to the crags of Alcatraz Island in the heart of the San Francisco Bay. Brooks and Herst had sailed to the island to answer a public call for donations and support issued by Indians of All Tribes (IAT), the American Indian activist group who began their occupation of Alcatraz, the notorious former federal penitentiary ominously nicknamed “The Rock,” a month earlier in order to call attention to the United States’ violations of tribes’ treaty rights. Over the course of nineteen months, from November 20, 1969 to June 11, 1971, IAT’s Alcatraz occupation electrified a rapt public already thrumming with anti-establishment radicalism. For American Indians, Alcatraz came to symbolize core tenets of Red Power: full-throated rejection of assimilation, renewed interest in tribal sociocultural and linguistic traditions, and staunch advocacy for American Indian self-determination and legal autonomy on ancestral lands.
1969年12月7日,乔尔·布鲁克斯和拉比罗杰·e·赫斯特——两位代表美国犹太人大会(AJCongress)北加州分部的美国犹太人,AJCongress是美国犹太人生活的主要组织机构——将新命名的船“沙洛姆1号”停泊在旧金山湾中心的恶魔岛的悬崖上。布鲁克斯和赫斯特是为了响应“全部落印第安人”(Indian of All Tribes,简称IAT)发起的公众募捐和支持呼吁而前往该岛的。IAT是一个美洲印第安人激进组织,一个月前,他们开始占领恶名昭彰的前联邦监狱“恶魔岛”(Alcatraz),以引起人们对美国侵犯部落条约权利的关注。从1969年11月20日到1971年6月11日,在19个月的时间里,IAT对恶魔岛的占领激怒了已经被反政府激进主义激怒的全神贯注的公众。对于美洲印第安人来说,恶魔岛象征着红色力量的核心原则:大声反对同化,重新关注部落社会文化和语言传统,坚定地倡导美洲印第安人在祖先土地上的自决和法律自治。
