  Rahel Varnhagen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rahel Varnhagen née Levin (born June 19, 1771 in Berlin; died March 7, 1833 in Berlin) was a German writer of Jewish descent who hosted one of the most prominent salons in Europe during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
Rahel always showed the greatest interest in her former coreligionists, endeavoring by word and deed to better their position, especially during the anti-Semitic outburst in Germany in 1819.
The poet Ludwig Robert was a brother of Rahel, and with him she corresponded extensively; her sister Rosa was married to Karl Asser.

Although the songs are mostly in Hebrew (except “Lullaby in C,” which is sung both in English and in Rahel’s Hebrew translation), their message is clear to speakers of any language: to take the time to rest and refresh ourselves.

Rahel Jaskow's rendition of these traditional songs is a refreshing change from the over-orchestrated renditions, that in past decades characterized such otherwise worthy efforts to preserve Jewish musical tradition.
