Neshomo Carlebach cancels concert?


My holy brothers…..it’s mammish ah gevald….Oy Mimkomcho….Oy Malkeinu…..
So she is saying that she is not singing the show because she does not want anyone to think that she endorses it, so how does she explain singing for Christian groups “all the time”?? Hello? Anyone home?

Forward:

Devoted groupies of singer Neshama Carlebach may want to revise their schedules: She is abandoning her plans to perform at a messianic Jewish congregation in New York.
The Orthodox performer (????!!!!!???)daughter of the late Hasidic-hippie “Singing Rabbi” Shlomo Carlebach � had been scheduled to perform at a Purim concert next month at Congregation Beth El of Manhattan, which describes itself as observing “Two-Testament Judaism.” When asked to discuss her decision to perform at Beth El, Carlebach informed the Forward that she was pulling out of the gig.”I was invited to sing for Congregation Beth El of Manhattan, a congregation of messianic Jews, on March 12, 2006,” Carlebach wrote in an e-mail to the Forward. “Naively, I had no idea what their ultimate goal and mission was when I first accepted this invitation. Now that I have become aware of what this organization represents, I will be canceling my appearance.”Carlebach added: “I absolutely believe in One God, and live and breathe for my own Orthodox Judaism. While I respect the ideologies and rights of all people, I feel it to be my own religious and spiritual imperative not to participate with a group that is in direct conflict with my own beliefs and way of life.”Carlebach said that, like her father, she considers it a “gift” to sing for people. “I want to be able to do it anywhere,” she said. “I sing for interfaith groups all the time. I’ve done events for Christians and many other religious groups.”Still, in the end, she concluded that performing at the Messianic venue would send the wrong message. “The reason that I’m not going is because I don’t want people to get sucked into something because they think that I endorse it,” she said.
