Yehi Zichro Baruch

"Shlomo was a musical and spiritual genius, in the realm of King David. Only a barbarian would think that Michael Jackson’s contributions surpassed Reb Shlomo’s by any measure, whatsoever. That Shlomo’s funeral was poorly attended (relative to Jackson’s) and that the Jewish media in 1994 was incapable of recognizing his passing as the loss of a giant, is something this generation will have to explain to history. If any Jewish adult, or anyone’s child, knows more or feels more about Michael Jackson than they do — even all these years later — about Shlomo Carlebach, that is something you ought to wonder about. I miss him still." - Jonathan Mark
