The music of the Jewish soul September 19, 2005

Shlomo's music is everywhere today in the Jewish world. Shuls which would not let him in during his lifetime davvan today to his nigunim.
He wrote some of the most beautiful songs we have.
My own holy teacher Dovid Hertzberg sang these songs all the time, and they were for a constant inspiration.
I love his music but have some quesions about his shul and movement March 29, 2006

Why I Don't Go to the Carlebach Shul Anymore
If you read my book review of "Holy Brother" you'll know that I hold Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, Zt'l in very high regard. I found him to be warm, loving, full of energy and joy and I once told some of his Chasidim that I found it to be an honor to actually be in the same generation as him.
I also met his grandnephew, Rabbi Naftali Citron and found him to be warm and in the same mold as Shlomo. Naftali was ordained by Chabad and because of that I didn't meet him out of fear of the results, until last year although I was "in" with his predecessor at the shul, Rabbi Shmuel Chaim (Sammy) Intrator.
Nevertheless I have certain issues with some of the congregants at his shul which is why I haven't been there or been part of his movement at all recently.
One time I was there a number of them started to order me around, "Sit down" etc.. I told them "Wait a minute. I knew Shlomo since I was 15 and he never pushed his weight around. What's going on here".
I was told that Rabbi Zwe Padeh helped translate part of Rabbi Chaim Vital's "Etz Chaim" (Tree of Life) into English and they wanted me to buy the book. The cost was 36 dollars of 2 times "Chai" (Life). Then one of the people told me that the book didn't have the theories correct about how the Universe was generated. I replied that in that case I wasn't going to buy the book.
A second time I was there one of these wiry little guys decided that it was in my best interest for him to push me around so that I would look for another wife. "We're going to get you mawwied", he said. I fought him off until he gave in but he commented about how bitter I was. Well, the last time I got married my "loving wife" of 4 months ran out on me screaming "We (Chabad) set you
up to fall flat on your face." And that book with my story in it (Confessions of a Jewish Cultbuster) was selling just fine on the shelves of Jewish book stores.
A third time a woman asked me what the Hebrew word "geulah" means. Literally, it means "redemption" as in the messianic . She countered "it means bondage". I didn't argue. I lived in Geulah, Jerusalem, Israel for 3 months in '78 and was at a dirty, bedbug infested yeshiva called "D'var Yerushalayim". I felt like I was enslaved there. And the students hated Shlomo and slandered me calling me a drug addict. I never did drugs at all back then, not even pot.
So, I decided to move on. Whatever I'm looking for, I felt I won't find it in the Carlebach movement. Back to the drawing board.
