* Debbie Friedman (2/23/1951 – 1/9/2011) , legendary American Jewish composer, singer, and recording artist, is credited with creating a whole new genre of contemporary, accessible Jewish music. She took the prayers, teachings and melodies of the ancient Jewish texts and set them to contemporary music. Her music is beloved by people of all ages and religions. Over the course of her distinguished career, she released over 20 albums and performed in sold out concerts at Carnegie Hall and in hundreds of cities around the world. Debbie suffered from a neurological condition, and died last year from complications with pneumonia. This concert honors her first Yahrziet.
