A Daughter's Love, with Batsheva
This episode is filled with so much love and admiration, the kind a daughter feels for her parents. Through the words and stories Batsheva lends me, I begin to meet her parents, Jan and Shelly (who will be featured in next week's episode!). I am incredibly honored to have been allowed to write a song for her family, and this preceding conversation contextualizes the song so beautifully, and I hope you enjoy it!
