There's Prokofiev's "Overture on Hebrew Themes" too.

...and since we're on the subject, one of the flats that Beethoven rented in Vienna in the 1790s was near a synagogue. Beethoven heard some of the themes (he was not yet stone deaf) wrote them in notebooks, and some emerged in the first movement (an unusually slow one for a first movement) of his Opus 131 String Quartet in C sharp minor. It is haunting.
