Debbie Friedman
was the most popular and prolific songwriter/performer of the American Jewish community, sold over half a million copies of her albums and toured extensively with sold out concerts.Although she is no longer with us, this anthology is a wonderful way to keep her memory alive. It is at once joyful, uplifting, soulful, modern, elegantly simple and deeply anchored in Jewish tradition. This is the singular combination of qualities that makes Debbie Friedman's songs so singularly beloved, and which have earned her a cadre of followers for whom her music is a central part of their spiritual practice.
This Anthology by Debbie Friedman, the most popular and prolific songwriter/performer of the American Jewish community, includes 45 tracks from all her albums.
Friedman has produced over 20 albums of original songs and videos as well, with 15 of her albums still active and available from SISU.
Debbie has sold over half a million copies of her albums.
She was constantly on tour throughout the U.S. and Canada and gave approximately 50 concerts each year to a full house of enthusiastic fans.
The CD is accompanied by a 28-page colorful booklet with lyrics to all the songs, information on all her albums, and comprehensive biography/discography.
Debbie’s songs have become a part of Jewish prayer service and are recited and sung every week at Conservative and Reform synagogues across America.
