The music in the Sema ceremony plays a crucial role. The music helps the dancers spin a counter clockwise spin dance while staying on beat while the Samazan knows when to come into the performance space and cross his arms and put his hands on his shoulders. While singing Kol Nidre, I grew up not using any instruments in my synagogue on any occasion, so the tunes that we used for any song, specifically Kol Nidre, had a special connection with any congregant. The tune sticks with you and you feel a different level of spirituality and connection to G-d when you sing the tune of Kol Nidre together. These two traditions that I have chosen to speak about have some similarities and some differences as well. In the Sema ceremony, there seems to be some sort of a gathering of people. There is also a clear leader during the ceremony. Kol Nidre is sung by a congregation of people and has a Cantor who leads the congregation in song. The Kol Nidre that we viewed in class had instruments used and we see further along in the video that shows the Sema ceremony, that there are instruments used as well. However, during Kol Nidre, there is no dance to go along with the tune. The congregants are supposed to stand and have their full attention towards the special prayer with little movements which is very unlike the Semi ceremony which is full of dancing.
