Debbie Friedman: Baruch Dayan Emet.

As many already know, Debbie Friedman, the High Songstress of Jewish Music passed away today. Her music transformed Jewish prayer, and for me personally, has remained a central part of my Jewish spirituality. We played her music at my son's brit and at his Bar Mitzvah; we sing her music at Havdalah; we prayed her Mi'Sheberach song when all of our parents were ill.

Her ability to take the sacred texts and make them resonate in a way that touches the heart is like none other.

She will be missed.
