Featured Video : Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach rebbe story | רבי שלמה קרליבך סיפור על הרבי Some 30 years ago, when Judy and I were living in Montreal, we had the ‘zchut’-merit to host Reb Shlomo zt’l about four or five times a year.

And sometimes he would come just for an evening of learning at our home. Believe it or not, Judy would spend about a month calling people to personally invite them to his gatherings.

(Num. 23:9) To many – Jews and non-Jews, admirers and critics alike – that has seemed to epitomise the Jewish situation: a people that stands outside history and the normal laws governing the fate of nations. Reb Shlomo zt"l when introducing his song - "Gam Ki Eileich- though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death, I shall not fear any evil, for You are with me," (Psalm 23), with a lamentation and
