Album Notes

"When Neshama Carlebach sings, she brings a bit of heaven down to earth...[she] is a soul singer, lending a voice to the mystical spirituality that abounds with Judaism."
-Washington Jewish Week
Few people have touched the soul of the Jewish Community the way Shlomo Carlebach has. His deep spirituality, his love of Torah and humanity was at the essence of every song he wrote and every soul he encountered. Now, Neshama Carlebach, Shlomo's oldest daughter, is continuing the tradition of her father, bringing her own special kind of Jewish soul and spirit to his music that she loves and performs so well.
"Neshama has been recognized internationally as a singer whose performance, like her father is a vehicle for transmitting love and a spiritual message."
