Deborah Lynn "Debbie" Friedman (ca. 1952 – January 9, 2011[1]) was an American composer and singer of songs with Jewish religious content. She was born in Utica, New York but moved with her family to Minnesota at age 5. She is best known for her musical version of “Mi Sheberach,” the prayer for healing, which is used by hundreds of congregations across America.
She wrote many of her early songs as a song leader at the overnight camp Olin-Sang-Ruby Union Institute in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin in the early 1970s. Between 1971 and 2011 she recorded more than 19 albums. Her work was inspired by such diverse sources as Joan Baez, Peter, Paul and Mary, and a number of folk music artists. She used English and Hebrew lyrics and wrote for all ages. Some of her other songs include "The Aleph Bet Song", "Not By Might", For Hanukkah, "Miriam's Song", for Passover, and "I am a Latke", also for Hanukkah.[citation needed]
In 2004,[2] A Journey of Spirit, a documentary film about Friedman, was produced by Ann Coppel.[3][4]
In 2007, Friedman accepted an appointment to the faculty of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion's School of Sacred Music in New York where she instructed both rabbinic and cantorial students.[5]
She was admitted to an Orange County Hospital in January 2011, where she died January 9, 2011, from pneumonia.[6][1]
