Laura Copel

If We Had Wings consists of eleven songs crafted with ahava (love) and kavod (respect) for Jewish tradition and values.

​

The texts address spirituality, wonder, gratitude, and current events through a Jewish lens.

​

The musical styles combine and shift between ballad, jazz, folk, rock, country, and classical.

​

Written over sixteen years of profound personal and global change, these new settings for traditional words encourage the listener to find deeper and sometimes playful interpretations of the liturgy.
