11:38 spresinger: 7000 people wow
11:38 dlabrahams: his words have me singing her songs like a montage in my brain
11:38 spresinger: shira try typing differently
11:38 carolineandcat: I've got the picture of a white haired man at a podium but the sound (certainly where I am in England) is certainly not what it should be
11:39 HDreier: Cantor - type it in words ("dot" instead of ".")
11:39 dlabrahams: I had to turn it WAY up loud
11:39 ShulamitF: She was also very private about her diagnosis. Never mentioned by name and hardly referred to except in a few settings.
11:39 saralaya: caroline, do you have headphones? Try that
11:39 deannama: sound is low, works best with earphones
11:39 mrsjro: make sure you turn on the sound on the screen and your computer
11:39 CantorShiraAdler: You can also find it by emailing me: I'll send you a link: Shira@ or visit blog -
11:39 jbernste: Shulamit, what was her diagnosis?

11:43 mrsjro: Hi Stuart.
11:43 gtownmomma: Hi Rachel. How sweet to have you here with us. This is Stephanie Rubin Weishaar from Maryland.
11:44 mrsjro: Hi Stephanie. If I could have managed to get a flight, I would have been there in person.
11:44 mrsjro: amazing that we're at over 7000 people
11:44 javapup: Still cannot find it. The "one voice" gets nothing. Shira Adler has dozens of choices!
11:44 carolineandcat: Saralaya - listgening via headphones. There really is something very wrong here. I can't bear it. Saw her at Limmud this year. I'm definitely getting the wrong audio.
11:44 ShulamitF: Rabbi Stuart Kelman.
11:44 villa320: who is speaking?
11:44 mannykk: Ann Arbor, MI
11:44 dlabrahams: My dad is there
11:44 ShulamitF: Rabbi Stuart Kelman.
11:44 saralaya: it's Debbie..... 7000+ people...... she brings us all together
11:45 spresinger: wow
11:45 CantorLeonSher: That was Debbie's PSalm 23
11:45 DK7372: Search DivaMama1 on FB and she's the first hit.
11:45 spresinger: thanks leon
11:45 ShulamitF: "Holy Place" was written at his request for the dedication of the new synagogue building for Netivot Shalom, of which he is emeritus.
11:45 spresinger: thks shulamit
11:45 CantorShiraAdler: Link to FB from my website tab on the home page:
11:46 mrsjro: Shira, this chat isn't allowing url links.
11:46 spresinger: shira will be in touch later - thanks for the oustanding job since Saturday - Shari Preston
11:46 CantorShiraAdler: thank you. it looks like a link on my end but you can find me through my name and the matching website and we'll all meet again - grateful for you!
11:47 MarietteG: Thankful to have been inpired by Debbie only two weeks ago at LImmud UK
11:47 saralaya: we need to work on letting Debbie's life and spirit keep bringing us together
11:47 saralaya: keeping us together
11:47 CantorShiraAdler: exactly!
11:47 spresinger: even Reform Conservative together but my friend said she hear a CHABAD RABBI singing Debbie's tune!
11:47 ShulamitF: She cared about the specificity of the notes, b/c it was her craft, not just happy clappy singing with a guitar.
11:47 saralaya: so have I......
11:48 mannykk: I've heard her melodies sung in numerous Orthodox settings and shuls
11:48 saralaya: (CHABAD singing her tune)
11:48 ShulamitF: She was exacting about the notes and pauses, b/c music was her craft and her prophecy, not just happy clappy singing with a guitar.
11:48 saralaya: and Modern Orthodox camps
eal she went through with her body. I would take photos of her. We could not use a flash. She was light sensitive
11:53 ShulamitF: As his is.
11:53 saralaya: Dolph... if we tell one a week, we'll never run out o
11:57 jcgtune: Beautiful, Julie!
11:58 spresinger: just last week you mean?
11:58 mannykk: I bet she'd say it's ok now....
11:58 CantorShiraAdler: indeed . . . anyone who has a soul could not have been touched by her music and as the world gets bigger (and smaller) it's a blessed reminder we are all One
11:58 MarietteG: yes last week at Warwick University
11:58 spresinger: was she already seeming ill or not really any different yet?
11:59 mrsjro: Rabbi David Ellenson, HUC
11:59 halimakrausen: at Limmud?
11:59 ravaj-1: hi halima
11:59 CantorNeilSchwartz: Don't know how they can be so disciplined to sing without crying - I'm sitting here crying - pretty awesome.
11:59 gators123456: how old was debbie?
11:59 halimakrausen: she mentioned that her voice was affected by a cold
11:59 saralaya: she was 59
11:59 rosekemps: 59
11:59 spshaffer: yes, Chabad sings her melodies
11:59 MarietteG: she said she had no voice... but she didn't come to sing... but to have us sing with her
11:59 halimakrausen: and urged us to sing louder
12:00 CantorShiraAdler: hi neil - you know how . . . we have to pull it together and serve . . . releasing pain through words and music.
12:00 YourEG: I would like to hear more about her infirmity.
12:00 imokayhl: not my chabad
12:00 imokayhl: I was brought up reform and now chabad
12:00 ravaj-1: only once at a funeral was i unable to stop crying, but then when it was my turn to read, it was ok
12:01 imokayhl: and they will not sing her music
12:01 CantorNeilSchwartz: > releasing pain through words and music You are right - thank you!
12:01 YourEG: She overcame so much to do her work. I do not believe conventional medicine knew how to treat pneumonia.
12:01 spresinger: once in ABQ she flew in in the 90's and could not sing so I sang instead so that was not new which is why this was shocking i think for those who knew she always had health probs she never discussed..
12:01 MarietteG: her last performance of L'chi Lach, dec. 29th at Limmud UK can be seen You Tube,
12:01 spshaffer: some chabads are more inclusive and accepting than others
12:01 maxwein: as a current songleader at OSRUI and participant at Hava Nashira, this summer will not be the same without her
12:01 ShulamitF: Who is this?
12:01 YourEG: She would have needed incredible sensitive allternative healing to overcome pneumonia.
12:02 ShulamitF: Oh, I think it's David Ellenson, never mind.
12:02 felpr: Rabbi David Ellenson, head of HUC
12:02 YourEG: Conventional drugs would not have helped very much to overcome pneiumonia.
12:02 tdfklk-1: Dolph who are you? I am Leah Kroll
12:02 ravaj-1: anyone else here listening from the UK?
12:03 lisalipkin: amsterdam
12:03 spshaffer: The problem was a very supressed immune system from her underlying illness and medications
12:03 imokayhl: she had MS
12:03 Dolph_M: Hi Leah. I am in Foster City/San Mateo. Grew up in San Jose
12:03 martabuffalo: st. lukes in nyc that treated her has a shabbat elevator :)
12:03 imokayhl: this complicated her illness
12:03 ShulamitF: I assumed it was MS, but it was never talked about publicly.
12:03 imokayhl: yeah it was
12:04 YourEG: what was the underlying illness? She appeared to be multiple cmeically senstive. Ligh sensitive for sure.
12:04 spshaffer: The references as to a "undiagnosed neur musclar " condition
12:04 saralaya: folks, Debbie was intensly private about herself and her health... let's honor that now
12:04 jamsteph: i agree
12:04 martabuffalo: agree
12:05 jbernste: agree
12:05 spshaffer: Baruch haShame
12:05 YourEG: The Jewish world needs to understand more how to heal the condition she had. There are many who are misdiagnosed. Look up MCS.
12:05 dlabrahams: forgotten? NEVER
12:05 jbernste: Who is speaking?
12:06 rebilk-1: Rabbi David Ellenson
12:06 jbernste: thks rebilk-1.
12:06 CantorNeilSchwartz: sounds like she had a premonition ...
12:11 DK7372: Thank you, cantork36.
12:11 saralaya: ops relbik
12:11 Tfgirl: She worked with alternatives very much. Many years ago I cooked for her when she did a Woman's workshop. She was very conscious of her body and it's potential limitations.
12:11 saralaya: oh I did get your name right Ira
12:11 YourEG: May your soul be bound up....God created Humans because God loves song....
12:11 spresinger: 7125 viewers
12:11 rebilk-1: Saralaya - what's your name? I'm the rabbi here.
12:12 villa320: who is speaking?
12:12 cantork36: Was terrified b/c she didn't prepare me ahead of time that she'd ask me to sing, but I guess she was impulsive that way. Turned out beautifully.
12:12 amington: This is so beautifl!
12:12 saralaya: I'm Sharon Moseson, my Dad Joe Moseson, z'l was the JCC Dir wa back when
12:12 martabuffalo: i'll have to hug my doggie here at home
12:12 YourEG: We should all as Jews be as conscious of our body s she was. The earth and the soul are soilmates.
12:12 gtownmomma: oh my
12:12 spresinger: can they work out sound without needing earphones u think?
12:13 Tfgirl: She was indeed. I had the priveledge of cooking for her during a woman's workshop many years ago.

12:14 rebilk-1: Sharon - That's before my time - I'm here 30 years but I know your dad's name and people who remember him.
12:14 YourEG: I would bring seeds to our High Holidays....she appreciated the work I did called Planty Your Dream. I have a seed called Job's Tears that goes with Sow in Tears, Reap in Joy.
12:14 CantorNeilSchwartz: Gonna be hard to chant this in Shirat HaYam this Shabbat ...
12:14 basheirt: Our closing song this Friday night...

12:15 ShulamitF: She was our Miriam. Needless to say.
12:15 dlabrahams: oh wow
12:15 spresinger: i think the two largest croo-denominational names of the "century" are going to have been Debbie and Shlomo
12:15 CantorNeilSchwartz: I'm gonna want to sing Debbie's version instead of the Trope and Shirat HaYam melody!
12:15 spresinger: cross-denominational
12:15 ShulamitF: The miracle was her, I guess.
12:15 shaunsaaz: Julie has a wonderful voice
12:15 benjaminm: I love how sweetly these artists are treating some of Debbie's songs, even the ones meant to be a little up-tempo
12:15 jbernste: WOW!
12:16 YourEG: Yes, Debbie and Shlomo.
12:16 spresinger: and maybe neshama now too and then the rest of us
12:16 amimizell: I think this is exactly what Debbie would have wanted to have happen at her funeral!
12:16 Tfgirl: Now the tears flow
12:16 saralaya: agree

12:16 cleeoh: Shabbat Shirah this week--how appropriate...
