ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Kinnor

Kinnor is a special musical instrument that was used a long time ago in ancient Israel. Like a guitar or a violin, it makes music when it is played. The kinnor looks a little bit like a small guitar but it's played a little bit differently.

The kinnor has a long skinny body and a curved top. It has many strings that run along the body, and when you play it, you make the strings vibrate and that produces sound. To play the kinnor, you have to pluck the strings with your fingers or use a small pick.

The kinnor was an important instrument in ancient Israel because it was used in religious ceremonies, like when people worshiped and sang songs to God. It was also used in other celebrations, like weddings or big parties!

Today, some people still play the kinnor and use it to play traditional Jewish music. It's a very special instrument that has been around for a very long time.
