Born in Jerusalem, Judeh’s life bridged music, community, and service. He studied at Birzeit College (now Birzeit University) and earned a B.A. in Economics from the American University of Beirut (AUB), where he sang in choir, played trumpet, and served as president of the Music Club. A devoted friend of Dozan, he offered counsel, research, and encouragement with rare generosity.
“Dozan World was, and remains, a beacon guiding my steps in music and literature related to music.”
Judeh deepened his musical understanding at AUB through courses with the late professors Salvador Arnita, Yusra Jawharieh Arnita, and Diana Tawieddin, and he continued a daily practice of musical self-education. Professionally, he held senior management roles across the private and NGO sectors, including service as General Secretary of the East Jerusalem YMCA,a formative, life-changing chapter.
Another defining chapter was his work with Abu Khader Group, reporting to Mr. George Abu-Khader, who invited him into Dozan Wa Awtar and later Dozan World. With the steadfast support of Mrs. Samia Abu-Khader and the inspiration of Dr. Shireen Abu-Khader, Judeh championed musical activity as part of a rich social fabric.
We honor Judeh’s memory with gratitude—for his research, his stories, his love of music, and the light he shared with our community.
