ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Debbie Friedman

Debbie Friedman was a really talented person who played the guitar and sang songs that made people happy. She was like a musical magician who could make people feel really good with her music.

Debbie made a lot of music that was called "Jewish music", which means it was made for Jewish people to sing and dance to. A lot of her songs talk about happy things like being with your family, being kind to others, and celebrating important holidays.

People loved Debbie's music so much that she became really famous in the Jewish community. Even people who didn't speak the same language as her could enjoy her music and feel a special connection to their culture.

Sadly, Debbie passed away in 2011, but her music continues to inspire and bring joy to people all over the world.
