Subject: Joni & Jewish Celebrations Catherine, I wish I could find it now, but early this year (or was it last) after one of her appearances in LA (it could have been the Hammer Museum) I came upon someones instagram photo of Joni at the table of a Jewish Holiday celebration or a shabat dinner. So this was in the last 12 months that she was part of this tradition. Laura From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: Joni and her jewish heart I'm finding it too difficult to find the exact articles where Joni has spoken about religion in general or her religion specifically, but I believe she has mentioned a number of times being, or at least being influenced by, Judaism, Buddhism, native spirituality and likely more. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2015 11:56:15 -0700 From: "Mark Scott" Subject: Re: Joni & Jewish Celebrations From 'A Conversation with Joni Mitchell' by David Wild, Rolling Stone, May 30, 1991: "I kind of see the beauty of the teachings of Christ you know, even though I turned Buddhist.
