Two music aficionados get together and discuss composers and compositions.

Dennis Prager wonders why we don’t have instrumental music on Shabbos when that was a big part of the Holy Temple. Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks has a beautiful answer: that the lack of instruments empowers the human voice. They discuss Jewish composers of non-Jewish religious music, and challenge great musicians to compose for us.
