What is the difference between Yiddish folk music and traditional Jewish classical music?
I’m not sure what you mean by traditional Jewish classical music but I’ll venture a guess. Yiddish folk music is freqently the music of the home and celebration. It is generally non religious in tone and can be played on many musical instruments. “Classical music” as you call it, I think is probably the music of the synagogue and religious ritual. It is generally vocal only although some more liberal congregations may use an organ or guitar accompany the singer(s). Religious music consists of chants and songs.
