WISHING OUR CLIENTS A
HAPPY & HEALTHY E EAR
Sweet & Loeb from page 54
After the couple — who part-
nered for Dweezil & Lisa, a cook-
ing-and-music TV show that still
airs on the Food Network in
reruns — parted ways, Loeb, as
always, found an outlet in writing
songs.
The result was last year's album,
The Way It Really Is, a combina-
tion of reflection and looking for-
ward to what's ahead released at
the 10-year anniversary of her
worldwide breakthrough.
Perhaps purged, her next proj-
ect was Catch the Moon, a chil-
dren's album she wrote with
Elizabeth Mitchell; it was engi-
neered by Detroit's own Warren
Defever of His Name Is Alive fame.
And she continued her explo-
ration into Judaism.
"Dweezil's very anti-organized
religion, which really put my own
beliefs to the test',' she says. To
learn more, Loeb began reading
books such as Rabbi Ted Falcon's
Judaism for Dummies and Rabbi
Joseph Telushkin's The Book of
Jewish Values, as well as attending
a variety of synagogues (she favors
Traditional services) around Los
Angeles, where she now lives.
She also began to study with a
rabbi, Mordecai Finley, whom she
thanks on The Way It Really Is. "I
wanted to find out what it all real-
ly means, instead of just going
through the motions:' she says.
"My song 'Try' is about trying to
be a better person, looking
inward, figuring out what you're
doing right and doing wrong. And.
all of this I was connecting with
the rabbi's teachings."
And she connects through char-
ities, usually that focus on reading.
She's participated in celebrity
readings for Koreh L.A., the Los
Angeles Coalition for Literacy and
a CD project to benefit the Jewish
Community Library of Los
Angeles. And when she played a
recent concert at New York City's
famed 92nd Street Y, she made a
point of playing songs by artists
such as Simon and Garfunkel, "to
show that Jewish music can be all
kinds of music': she says.
"You spiritual life is at the core
of your being, even if you don't
believe in God. Something inside
you has to be balanced before you
can have a full life Loeb says. "It's
also what connects you to differ-
ent people, I think, and the
world."
