Celebrate the Life and Music of Debbie Friedman z''l
Friday, January 17th at 7:30 pm
The world of Jewish Music and Liturgy lost a giant when Debbie Friedman passed away on January 9, 2011. Her impact on the music and prayer of Judaism and Reform Judaism in particular was dramatic and profound. Imagine a service without the prayer of healing (
Mi Sheberach)
or singing beautiful prayers of our liturgy in English. These were uncommon until Debbie Friedman came along and changed it. As a congregation, we were lucky enough to welcome her through our gates for one of her last concert performances before she died. Her legacy is long lasting and is one that we will celebrate in song and in word this coming
Friday evening at 7:30 pm. We will be joined by Celia Nolan on piano and Richard Westelman on guitar.
Please join us for this special musical service as we celebrate the life and music of Debbie Friedman z''l.
Cantor Steven Weiss
