REB SHLOMO CARLEBACH: FRIENDS

FRIENDS of Reb Shlomo Carlebach

In 1949, both Reb Shlomo and Reb Zalman went out as emissaries/shluchim of the Lubavitch Rebbe.

They remained friends until Reb Shlomo died Oct. 1994, 4 months after The Rebbe died (2 days ago was The Rebbe's yahrzeit June 1994). Twenty one years ago.
Reb Zalman died July 3, 2014 in Boulder, Colorado, after being ill during Shavuot at Isabella Freedman Center.
I add these photo on Reb Zalman's first Yahrzeit.
May his neshama merit from all the goodness of his disciples and family.

REB ZALMAN SCHACHTER-SHALOMI, z"l

Following the longest day of the year, the summer solstice filled with light, tonight 5 Tamuz, is the FIRST YAHRZEIT of our beloved HaRav Meshulam Zalman Hiya Ben Shlomo HaKohen v'Haya Gittel, Zichrono Livracha.

Reb Zalman, z”l, the founder of Jewish Renewal/Aleph, told me his Hebrew name during our dyad on Rosh HaShanah 1993, and he named me Rena. In joy, I sing his praises, and pray for dear Eve, holding her in my heart, as this long first year ends.

It was a deep honor to have Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi as my Rebbe and to serve Reb Zalman as his percussionist for 2 decades. In his Zechut, I practice daily what I learned from my Rebbe.
