Lora, unfortunately, seems to be embarrassed about her Jewish
heritage. I attempted to interview her through the mail a few years
back, and the moment I started asking questions about whether she was
raised Jewish, I never heard from her again. (She did send me Hare
Krishna pamphlets, though - which I keep next to the Jack Chick comics
I took from Palmolive's church!)
Perhaps it's more of a family thing than a religious thing, given the
below. Certainly the lyrics she wrote for Essential Logic are full of
mocking rejection of her upbringing.
