" The connection is achieved through the reflection of the mirror, linking history with the present, "obstacles and difficulties" through carefully crafted texts, images, and sounds, and finally, the "anthology of songs" through the representation of the interior of a living room in a Greek (Hebrew) middle-class home from the interwar period.

Although Sephardic religious music is mainly chanted in Hebrew, there are hymns in the Sephardic language as well. Elements of Turkish and Byzantine musical traditions are also present, as close relations with Muslim and Greek communities resulted in such musical interactions.
