Why yes? Why no?

December 31, 2014 2:06 am at 2:06 am #1050745VogueMemberHe was well known for his niggunim and being on the hippie scene during the Baal Teshuva Movement. Many minyanim around the world either occasionally or more often have services in a carlebachian style.
December 31, 2014 6:14 am at 6:14 am #1050746Little FroggieParticipantWhy yes? He was alive.
Why no? No more.
OK. For serious people (and why would anyone..)
I don’t think this question would lead to anything constructive. We are bidden not to denigrate those who are no more among the living (unless… which is not nogea here). This is a very touchy subject, and is bound to turn both directions…
(the smart one has eyes in his head..)
December 31, 2014 1:04 pm at 1:04 pm #1050747DaMosheParticipantWhy yes? Because you may enjoy his music.
Why no? Because you may dislike his music.
For myself, I don’t listen to recordings of Carlebach. I don’t like his voice. But some of his music has grown on me, and I do sing his songs at times. When davening for the amud, his songs are good to use, as they are generally well known, so people will sing along.
December 31, 2014 2:59 pm at 2:59 pm #1050748dnetskMember“Bal Teshuvah Movement” always irks me. I understand people like labels. But somehow it is the N word of Judaism. I just really dislike labels especially ones that people use to make themselves feel superior.

December 31, 2014 6:22 pm at 6:22 pm #1050751MDGParticipantRav Moshe wrote a teshuva supposedly about Carlebach, although he does not mention his name. It’s “understood” who Rav Moshe was talking about. Teshuvot Iggerot Moshe, Even Ha-Ezer, I, no. 96
I don’t have it in front of me, nor can I find it on Hebrewbook.org.
Perhaps someone can help.

(Be aware that anything that was not known about at the time
the t’shuva was written is, of course, not addressed in it.)
