What do we know?: The Carlebach Anthology

What do we know? And what do I know? These are the rhetorical questions frequently posed by the late Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach (1925-1994) to express his awareness of the mystery at the heart of creation. They were at the same time an expression of his abiding faith in God's goodness and the divine Providence that underlies all life. Many aspects of the famed Torah scholar, teacher, singer, composer, musician, and storyteller are discussed, analyzed, reflected upon, and praised by over 32 contributors to this compendium of essays, teachings, stories, and poems. It includes extensive selections from transcripts of Reb Shlomo's appearances in venues around the world, complemented by a generous sampling of photographs by Joan Roth and several others. Rabbi Joe Schonwald, working closely with poet and editor Reuven Goldfarb, has drawn upon the resources of Reb Shlomo's many students and friends to assemble this tribute volume, in order to clarify and amplify Shlomo's profound contribution to Jewish spiritual awareness and growth.
