Shlomo Carlebach was born in Berlin, Germany in 1925. He grew up near Vienna where his father was the chief Rabbi. In 1939, as the war began to escalate and the Nazi's grip tightened, Shlomo and his family miraculously escaped to New York where he spent time learning in many different Yeshivas. Even as a young boy, Shlomo's vision and clarity of thought always set him apart from his peers as being amongst the most brilliant of the scholars around him. Through that vision, courage, and a deep love of all people, Shlomo took on a mission and set off on a path that many didn't believe in. Shlomo believed that to uplift, inspire, and bring joy to every human being was truly his reason for existing. Through his words of Torah, his music and his stories, Shlomo touched the hearts and souls of all who were blessed to hear him. He sought to remind people that they are never alone, that there is one G-d who loves them, and that every person has a unique and important mission to discover for themselves. He was able to uplift the spirits and lives of the most broken, distraught people worldwide; people of all faiths and cultures. Much of Shlomo's life was spent traveling the world where he sang with the poor, the lost and the lonely, always saying that he learned from them. Shlomo frequently stated that if we could see the best in each other and appreciate our own innate beauty, there would be no heartache in the world. Despite his passing in 1994, tens of thousands of lives are touched by Shlomo's message and melodies. His music and his compelling life story continue to inspire many with his message urging each person to open his or her heart to those around them.
Songs of Peace
Shlomo Carlebach has been called The Father of Modern Jewish Music. Shlomo believed that to uplift, inspire, and bring joy to every human being was truly his reason for existing. He composed over 5,000 songs, and his first record - a demo by today’s standards - sold over 100,000 copies by word of mouth alone. He made over 70 recordings in his lifetime, sold millions of records and gave concerts all over the world. His music’s messages of faith, hope and love are not only an integral part of everyday Jewish life, but reach beyond religious boundaries to inspire people of all faiths and nationalities. Despite his death in 1994, his music and his compelling life story continue to inspire many with his message urging each person to open his or her heart to those around them. He was fond of saying, “When we sing, it’s like we’re praying twice.” Upon listening to this recording, it begins to become apparent just what Shlomo meant by these words. Songs of Peace is two unreleased live performances, both from 1973, carefully transferred, mixed and mastered by Sojourn Records, the only exclusively licensed label permitted by his Estate to release unreleased or undiscovered recordings. Songs of Peace speaks for itself - two intimate recordings that capture the amazing spirit and beauty of Shlomo Carlebach's gift. It is a beautiful display of his musical genius, spirituality and humanity.

Haneshama Lach
Released 1959 Original Text from 1959 Album. Shlomo Carlebach, whose voice and original music are heard on this record, is a young ordained rabbi. He has started and remains in the center of an electrifying movement among the young people in the American Jewish communities. His songs are an unusual expression of feelings reflecting varying as well as blended moods of Jewish religious life. The deep but yet beautifully simple joy of the Chassidic mystic moods in combination with the overwhelming love for the study of the Torah as lived in the world of the Yeshivot, permeate all of his music. Sparkling once in a while through this fusion of moods is a touch of Yemenite influence such as in the song “Esso Einai”. Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach has been fortunate to drink from the cup of these many significant and beautiful environments. He was born into a notable rabbinical family of Central Europe. His father, himself a rabbi of many distinguished qualities, hails from a long rabbinical line, dating back to the famous commentator of the Shulchan Aruch, Rabbi David Shmuel Halevi (The “Taz”). His mother’s ancestor was Rabbi Moshe Charif, the intimate friend of Rabbi Akiba Eger. Shlomo too, from his early childhood, displayed extraordinary clarity and sharpness of mind. As a boy of eight he was already so familiar with the Talmudic treatises he had learned, that the great Lithuanian Rabbis, who often visited the home of his parents, all saw in him a potentially outstanding scholar of great future. When his parents emigrated to Baden near Vienna, Austria, he used to attend Chassidic services. It is there that his heart was first captured by the Chassidic warmth. The melodies he heard then left an indelible impression on him. Upon his arrival to the United States, Shlomo studied at the Mesivta Torah Vodaath, and the Yeshiva of Lakewood, a foremost graduate school of Rabbinics. He received his Rabbinic degree in New York by one of the leading authorities, Rabbi Isaac Hutner. He attended Columbia University and the new school of Social Research, and is now working towards his Doctorate in philosophy. While studying intensively in the Yeshivoth he experienced Chassidic life in the circle of the rabbis of Lubavitch, Bobow, and Modzitz in the sea of song and Chassidic studies. For many years now Shlomo, as he has become known, has put Jewish youth at the center of his heart. With them he shares the joy of countless nigunim (melodies), - many of them his own – and the delight of words of Torah as well as a multitude of inspiring stories. From this enthusiastic and yet simple brotherhood of youth, has sprung the need for this record. Today Shlomo can say with the psalmist, “Thy statutes have become my songs.” The original melodies contained herein have been enhanced by the imaginative and colorfully orchestrated arrangements of Milton Okun. And engineering by Kalman Kinori.

Sing My Heart
Released in 2004. Released originally in 1961. From Shlomo Carlebach:
This, my second record, is dedicated to the people who sing my songs; to the people I have met through my music, with a glance, with a handshake, with a sigh, with a smile, with a wish, with a song: to the people I have never met...and long to meet. To you, young people, boys and girls who are so near to me. Your striving is my striving. Your struggle is my struggle. Together let us find the way to the Ribbono Shel Olam, our Father in Heaven, to study His Torah, to keep his commandments and above all, to be his friends. As for me, let it be my privilege to sing His Praise. Borchi Nafshi es Hashem. Sing My Heart.

L'Kovod Shabbos
Reb Shlomo sings and tells stories in honor of Shabbos. Released 1980. From Shlomo Carlebach: This record is dedicated to our children, our Little Shabbos candles, that have been lit since the days of our mother's Eve and Sarah, and will be lit till the great day comes - the great Shabbos. It is also very specially dedicated to all those beautiful Shabbos candles that at one time or another stopped shining, and to all the Shabbos candles waiting to be lit. May this record bring a taste of that which is holy and beautiful to them and uplift their heart so they may shine with the light of Shabbos. The stories on this record are dedicated to my own precious children, my pride and the core of my heart, Neshama - little soul and Nedara - little promise. May their light guide the way for the Mashiach.

Songs of Peace Review - Teruah Jewish Music Blog
Wonderful review of Shlomo Carlebach's Songs of Peace released last October 2009 on Sojourn. And Jack Z. was great to listen and write about the recording. Here's the link to the post here.
Shlomo Carlebach New Release
A new Shlomo Carlebach recording, "Songs of Peace", with previously unreleased performances recorded live in 1973, is in stores as of October 27th and distributed in the US and Canada by Sony/RED and available here as well. Known as the "Father of Modern Jewish Music", Shlomo Carlebach died fifteen years ago - but his legacy lives on due to the continued playing and singing of his songs by millions of people worldwide. Neshama Carlebach, his daughter, has also played an integral role with her active promotion and performing of her father's music. With this recording, Neshama and the Estate of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach have collaborated with Sojourn Records to produce these fantastic recordings that were only dis covered in the last two years. Sojourn Records is honored to be a part of this release and believes that this music is extraordinary - an offering from a man no longer here, recorded over thirty-five years ago - yet strangely of this moment in time.
