Thursday, 16 Cheshvan 5773 marks the 18th yahrzeit of Rav Shlomo Carlebach z”l, who was viewed perhaps by some frum Jews as controversial or even unacceptable during his life, but has nonetheless left an indelible mark in our tefilos around the world, particularly with the birth of countless Friday night and Shabbos Rosh Chodesh or Mevorachim HaChodesh Carlebach Minyanim following his petira.
Thousands are expected to visit the kever of “Reb Shlomo” as he was known, in Yerushalayim’s Har Menuchos beis hachaim. Shuls around the world are holding special minyanim as a tribute to him and his niggunim.
