I hope that we are only debating the appropriateness Debbie Friedman's
melodies for prayer as opposed to traditional modes of prayer. I don't 
believe that the "jewishness" of her music is questioned--the moreso, 
since, as you point out, that would certainly open a senseless
thrash, meaning nothing.
