Raised primarily in Jewish communities in both Canada and the US, she inherited the rich musical traditions of Eastern Europe (Yiddish) and modern Israel&nbsp; (Hebrew), as they were adapted for North American Jewry. For Lauren, these songs are inextricably linked to the ancient and modern stories of the Jewish people, at times of their suffering; as well as of their hope for world peace. It is from this deep vault of music that she draws a strong spiritual connection.<br/>Wed, 03 Dec 2008 13:49:03 -0600http://laurenposner.calabashmusic.com/#album_50014
