Join Alanis Morissette’s Tribe

(RNS) — Buckle up for a story about life imitating Torah and history born out of identity.

Sketching the backstory, this week’s Torah portion parallels a similar tale about Moses. Moses, an Israelite infant was saved from Egyptian slavery and raised as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, blissfully unaware of his true identity and heritage.

Flash forward to today, where popular singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette uncovers her roots and finds that she is, in fact, Jewish.

As the daughter of a Canadian father and a Jewish mother with a concealed Jewish heritage, Morissette’s story is not unlike that of the late Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

This powerful discovery adds new meaning to her world-renowned songs and turns Quentin Tarantino’s account of Jews into a truer reality.
