The Neshama of Carlebach

by Zev Stub

For almost forty years, the Carlebach legacy has had a major role in defining the spirituality and soul of the Jewish community. Reb Shlomo, Ztl', was world renowned and beloved for his stories and songs. Equally endearing was his genuine kindness and love for humanity; his warm handshakes and hearty embraces, making him the "Godfather of Kiruv." After his untimely passing four years ago, it is not surprising that among the people continuing the tradition he began, is ....another Carlebach.

by Senya Maler
