Biography

Shlomo Carlebach, born on January 14, 1925, in Berlin, Germany, was an American rabbi and musician. He began his musical career by leading services as a hazzan during his studies at Yeshiva Torah Vodaath and Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin. In 1950, Carlebach set up a small Torah learning group called T.S.G.G., marking the beginning of his public performances. His first invited performance was in 1951 at the Hillel Center on Convent Avenue. He started writing songs based on verses from the Tanakh or Siddur and became known as "The Singing Rabbi." Carlebach's music gained popularity through Israel’s annual Hasidic Song Festival, where his song "Ve'haer Eneinu" won third prize in 1969. He released numerous albums, including Songs of Peace (1975) and Nachamu Nachamu Ami (1983). Carlebach's songs became standards in the Jewish community, such as "Am Yisrael Chai." He passed away on October 20, 1994.
