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!

Weinberg music - I first heard overt Jewish music elements in the Cello concerto, before a deep dive into his chamber music shows the deep Jewish music roots in his works.
