Carlebach movement

Orthodox Jewish movement inspired by the legacy of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach The Carlebach movement is an Orthodox Jewish movement inspired by the legacy of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach. The Carlebach movement has promoted a form of Jewish worship, colloquially known as "nusach Carlebach" (Carlebach liturgy). One of the centers of the movement is Mevo Modi'im (the "Carlebach moshav") in Israel. Origins The movement originates with the founding of The House of Love and Prayer, by Rabbi Carlebach, inspired by the counterculture of the 1960s. Rabbi Carlebach called his followers "holy hippielech" ("holy hippies"). Many of Carlebach's followers soon began practicing Judaism according to the Orthodox tradition. Founding Carlebach founded a Moshav settlement in Mevo Modi'im, Israel. A number of his followers continue to live there today. The Moshav is commonly referred to as the "Carlebach Moshav". After Carlebach's death Following Rabbi Carlebach's death, his followers organized a number of commemorative events, paying tribute to their deceased leader. These events included both traditional Jewish mourning events (i.e., the Shiva, Shloshim and Yahrtzeit), as well as concerts and Friday night ser
