Although his roots lay in traditional Orthodox yeshivot, he branched out to create his own style combining Hasidic Judaism, warmth and personal interaction, public concerts, and song-filled synagogue services. At various FridAy April 10 - 7 pM times he lived in Manhattan, San Francisco, To- ronto and Moshav Mevo Modi'im, Israel. Carlebach Carlebach is considered by many to be the foremost Jewish religious songwriter of the 20th century. In Shabbat Service led by a career that spanned 40 years, he composed thousands of melodies and recorded more Chazanista Kelly and the T’filots than 25 albums that continue to have widespread popularity and appeal. His influence Accompanied by the Sam Harris Band also continues to this day in "Carlebach minyanim" and Jewish religious gatherings in Featuring melodies of Shlomo Carlebach many cities and remote pristine areas around the globe. Carlebach was also considered a pioneer of the Baal teshuva movement ("returnees to Judaism"), encouraging disenchanted Jewish youth to re-embrace their heritage, using his special style of enlightened teaching, and his melodies, songs, and highly inspiring story telling. Carlebach began writing songs at the end of the 1950s, primarily based on verses from the Tanakh or the Siddur set to his own music. Although he composed thousands of songs, he could not read musical notes. Many of his soulful renderings of Torah verses became standards in the wider Jewish community, including Am Yisrael Chai composed on behalf of the plight of Soviet Jewry in the mid-1960s, Pitchu Li, and Borchi Nafshi.
