Kluger,
100% Agree! Take any typical song composed today, they are MUCH worse than ANY Carlebach song.
It seems like this very thread is more of loshon hora and מוציא שם רע bashing…
There is no doubtthat the songs came from a good place, he “might” have had flaws and committed…et.
But as a general person, he had a deep neshamah and generally good intentions. His Ahavas Hashem and Yisrael was obvious on a very high level.
From what I heard, he was very makpid not to listen to any non-Jewish songs, thus his creativity and singing should not be tainted by any impure sources. Hence, unlike many other composers, wherein their songs are just a Hit and run, his songs will always be part of Klal Yisrael and sung by all at all times to connect to Hashem.
All the rest are just simply Lashon Horo etc.. and a waste of time.
