Description
"Jewish women have been creating their own music at least since Miriam the Prophetess led the Song on the shore of the Red Sea. It's in a similar spirit of dedication to eternal Jewish values coupled with joyful innovation that this record is presented. Each of these nine original songs embodies a concept drawn from ancient wellsprings. "Ashira" is the pen name of a woman who crystalized these thoughts into poetry and set them in a rainbow of musical styles. From gentle lullaby to driving rock...from lyrical ballad to American Country...all are variations on the theme of what it means to be a Jewish woman."
"Dear Listener,
Did you know that any and all reproduction of commercial records and tapes such as this one, including 'just one cassette for personal use only,' is strictly forbidden by Jewish law?"
