    ‎הֱיֵה נָא קָרוֹב לְשַׁוְעָתֵנוּ
    ‎יְהִי־נָא חַסְדְּךָ לְנַחֲמֵנוּ
    ‎כִּי אַתָּה יְהֹוָה הָעוֹנֶה בְּעֵת צָרָה
    ‎פּוֹדֶה וּמַצִּיל בְּכָל־עֵת צָרָה וְצוּקָה
    Please be near to our cry
    Let Your loving kindness console us
    For You, God, are the One who answers in time of trouble
    Who redeems and rescues in all times of trouble and distress

    Debbie Friedman brought a whole new style of joy and love into Jewish liturgy.

    Her music continues to inspire us.  This rendition of Ahavat Olam, the prayer leading to the Shema, is a timeless reminder of her gifts as we prepare for Shabbat.
