Several years ago, when Debbie taught this to the CAJE Chorale, I was struck by the line, "And I have cried to you to heal me, and you have answered all my prayers." She was so much healthier than when I first met her! And now - now I turn to this song in the hope that it will have the power to turn my own mourning into dancing, because I know this is what she would have wanted for all of us.

Debbie's impact on the Jewish experience and reawakening of the meaning of song and life is indescribable She had a love for youth and respect for the aged. But she is also a part of a family that loves her and will unspeakably miss her. Her energy and humor will reside in the best parts of all of us during our lives.

"Now I sing praises to the Holy One" -Debbie is was called on high to do just that, and she is probably singing in front of him as we speak. May her memory live on forever.

so weird, i just read this (JudyGit) and had a faint memory of singing at CAJE with her. A completely forgotten memory, as I have not been involved in Judaism in so long. It must have been 15 years ago at least.
