Writing earlier this year for the online magazine Tablet, Dvorah Meyers asserted that the singer’s “unrepentant behavior … signals Winehouse’s place in a very different line of Jewish women - not the ‘nice’ ones who make you chicken soup when you’re sick or assure their sons that they’re the smartest boys in the world and any woman would be lucky to marry them.” “The bad girl with the pin-up tattoos, soul style and Marilyn Monroe mole piercing was born to Mitchell and Janis, a Jewish couple in north London,” according to a report in the Jewish publication Moment Magazine. While police are awaiting the results of toxicology tests, which will take two to four weeks, the British tabloid the Daily Mirror reported this week that a lethal combination of alcohol and drugs was believed to have caused her death.

Winehouse, a five-time Grammy winner who was admired by music critics and beloved by celebrities, was found dead in her London home July 23.
