Debbie Friedman
singer and composer of Jewish music
"Women's voices are very strong now, and they are singing more loudly in the metaphoric sense. Men don't have permission to sing; they have permission to scream and yell."
The high priestess of new Jewish music, Friedman is famous for writing songs and prayers attuned to this generation's rhythms. Her concerts are revival meetings of flowing spirit. Her success has not depended upon being anointed by Jewish institutions but upon her unprecedented popularity in the community. Powerful and Jewishly knowledgeable, she has made great contribution to liturgy with minimal support from established denominations.
