A question about the aesthetics of Jewish art

So first off I’ve got to say that I’m not Jewish, and I hope this post does not come off as generalizing in any way. I have deep respect for Jewish people and their culture and history, and I would be beside myself to have hurt anyone through any thoughtlessness in my question.

I’ve noticed a certain aesthetic sensibility broadly found in Jewish writing and art from Kafka and Martin Buber’s Tales of the Hasidim, and some Yiddish folktales I’ve read to the writings of Gershom Scholem, S An-sky, Walter Benjamin, and some of the passages from Sefer Ha Aggadah. Even some of the films of the Cohen Brothers like A Serious Man posess a quality that I find notable, and particularly resonant, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.

Does anyone know what I’m talking about, or is it just my own predilection for certain artistic works that I’m noticing? It would seem that this aesthetic quality must have something to do with Judaism, as it is found in so much Jewish thought, but I really can’t identify what it is or why I feel connected to it. Is there a name for this particular quality? Does anyone else pick up on it?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated! I wish I could be more descriptive, but I honestly find this quality very difficult to describe. Thank you so much for reading!
