We also heard from Vanessa Paloma – a singer, scholar and writer specializing in Sephardic Jewish women’s songs and their connection to women’s spiritual expression. Born in Colombia, and lived in Morocco, Vanessa’s music explores the common ground of Arab and Jewish culture among women. www.vanessapaloma.blogspot.com
