Debbie Friedman
wrote the soundtracks of our lives as Reform Jews
Quote, “An extraordinary treasure of our movement and a person of great influence, something we sometimes forget. Twenty or thirty years ago American Jews like most Americans had forgotten how to sing, Debbie reminded us how to sing. She taught us how to sing. She gave us the vehicles that enabled us to sing. Then she impacted our youths and our camps and ultimately from there, she impacted our synagogues. What happens in the synagogues of Reform Judaism today, those voices of the song are in large measure due to the insight and to the brilliance and to the influence of Debbie Friedman”, end Quote
