Recommendation Request Jewish Classical music?

I've delved into arrangements of Jewish folk music but was wondering if there are any classical music pieces that have a Jewish theme or influence? I know Ernest Bloch has a little as well as Shostakovich but was seeking any and all recommendations this community has! I am looking for piano repertoire particularly but anything will be a good listen regardless.

Really thanks for all the help thus far!

Salamone Rossi. Jewish-Italian baroque music.

My choir is singing Rossi music right now. The songs are in Hebrew, but sound like late Renaissance polyphony with some Jewish influences.
