In this case,both Lerner and Moguilevsky are Jewish and are very self-consciously drawing on traditional Jewish musical modes (specifically those from klezmer music) and on Jewish experiences.

It is not (or doesn't appear to be) religiously Jewish in the sense that nigun or congregational singing, or even a rock band singing a section of tehillim, is religiously Jewish music.<br /><br />Does that help?
