I greatly respected R’ Shlomo Z”L. His music was incredibly beautiful, inspiring, and changed the face of Jewish music to make it truly “singable” and emotionally connected to the masses. There was a time, nevertheless, that some people found his derech of kiruv to be a little “out there.” I believe that he indiscriminately reached out to so many disenfranchised people both male and female, and was responsible for the return of many Jewish souls to the Derech Ha-Shem. He used Ahavas Yisroel, and put his money where his mouth was, in order to draw Jewish youth closer. If anyone has anything critical to say about his methods, I would love to know exactly how many lost souls THEY helped return to Torah life.
