Preview of the Terry Elan Memorial Lecture 2025

On Sunday, March 2, 2025, I will be delivering a lecture in memory of my father IYH. The title is Music of the Mikdash: Reconstructing the musical instruments of the Leviim and recapturing the lost Song of Zion.

This new multimedia presentation explores various aspects of the musical service performed daily in the Beis Hamikdash:

• Biblical and Talmudic sources are used to identify and describe the instruments played upon the duchan and during the Simchas Beis Hashoevah

• Detailed computer models help illustrate the morning routine of the Leviim as they prepared to sing songs and play musical instruments for the avodah. 

• Finally, Jewish sources from the 1600s shed light on what the music of the Beis Hamikdash may have sounded like.
