In 1966, at a festival in Berkley, between Peter Seeger and "Jefferson Airplane," a young Rabbi came on stage with a guitar and began to sing. Shlomo Carlebach was a brilliant young Torah scholar who had been sent by the Lubavitcher Rebbe to bring Torah to the hippies of San Francisco. But when his love for them transgressed the boundaries of halacha (Jewish Law), he was shunned by the Orthodox establishment. Carlebach once said in a radio interview that he composed no less that 4,000 original melodies. Thirteen years ago he passed away, penniless; today his music fills concert halls and in almost every Jewish community there is a community of his followers.
