The goal of this website is to give the widest possible view into the world of piyut from the distant past until today. As you can see, the website presents many sections engaging a variety of lenses to see into the world of piyut, and we are planning to widen the scope of this work over time. There are two archives at the core of the website. The central archive is a collection of piyutim and melodies. Here you can find piyutim divided into various categories and run a general search on all of the piyutim. Each piyut has two central “pages.” The first offers an indepth look at the piyut, presenting different perspectives of background, commentary, and explanation. The second is a list of melodies, including a range of melodies and performances of the piyut.
