Music is a concept in Judaism that appears in a variety of contexts, like the harp music played by King David, the songs the Levites sang in the Temple, tunes associated with liturgical texts, and the chanting of the weekly Torah portion.
The Jewish people are often called "the people of the Book." While "the Book" in the phrase at hand refers to the Tanakh, the phrase also reflects the centrality of books and the study of Jewish texts in Judaism. Within traditional Jewish literature, much is written on the value and nature of books: halakhic texts discuss how to treat sacred books, rabbinic texts explore the authorship of different biblical books, and works of Jewish thought and Kabbalah consider the impact of text study on the mind and soul.
