	Piyyut: The Poetry of Worship
		It was on native soil that this art-form thrived.
		The Babylonians preferred uniform and standardized rituals and were wary of the spontaneity that piyyut embodied.
		Recent generations have been uneasy about the inclusion of piyyut in the service for various reasons: Some argue that they distract from the mandatory prayers; others complain that they unduly prolong the service, and that few Jews are now literate enough to appreciate them.

		A piyyut (plural piyyutim, Hebrew פיוט, IPA: [pijút] and [pijutím]) is a Jewish liturgical poem, usually designated to be sung, chanted, or recited during religious services.
		For example, the best-known piyyut may be Adon Olam ("Master of the World"), sometimes attributed to Solomon ibn Gabirol in 11th century Spain.
		Its poetic form consists simply of rhyming iambic tetrameter, and it is so beloved that it is often sung at the conclusion of many synagogue services, after the ritual nightly saying of the Shema, and during the morning ritual of putting on tefillin.

	Bamidbar
		The piyyut was written in the eleventh century by Rabbi Meir ben Yitzchak, who was a renowned composer of piyyutim and shaliach tzibbur (prayer leader) in Worms.
		At the beginning of the piyyut there is an introduction in which the poet asks permission to speak his words, meaning to write down the greatness of the acts of the Creator, to glorify and praise Him.
		The piyyut is recited to a special tune, and the chazan (cantor) and the congregation recite the verses alternatively (two rhyming pairs each time).
