Carlebach Kabalas Shabbos - Avrumy Straus & Friends

A Carlebach Kabolas Shabbos with a chassidish taam by Avrumy Straus & Friends - filmed in Israel. (Yes, it’s normal to sing along and then find yourself dancing)

Avrumy Straus had a dream. He felt transformed by experiencing a Chassidish kabalas Shabbos in the Nusach of R' Shlomo Carlebach and started leading the davening in his shul. Now, Avrumy wants to share that same experience with the world by presenting the first Chassidish Kabolas Shabbos Nusach Carlebach ever filmed.

The video was filmed at the historic Kehillat Renanim Shul in Yerushalayim. Together with Avrumy and the Neshama Choir, the video includes an ensemble of some of the greatest Israeli Chassidish singers, including Yoeli Davidovitz, Ahrele Scharf, Suchi Goldstein, Shimmy Lifschitz, and Moishe Wales. Each singer has several solos throughout the davening.

Avrumy said “I saw how many yidden were uplifted and inspired by a chassidish Carlebach Kabalas Shabbos that seemed familiar yet fresh and unique at the same time. I hope this video will inspire others as well.”

"Hold On Tight" Lipa Schmeltzer & Friends

Lipa’s son Moishe Yossi just got married to Chavie. I am dedicating this new song to the new couple. Moishe Yossi covered 790 Roller Coasters around the globe. Nonetheless, he took it as a hobby without letting the enjoyment interfere with his spirituality and growth. Life could be fun and meaningful at the same time.

Here Lipa and fellow artists are joining the trip. The rest see for yourself.

If you want to engage in hatzalas nefashos, saving lives, not just the lives of others but your own spiritual life, you should be at the Prudential Arena this Sunday, 3 Sivan/June 9, for Dirshu’s Kinnus Olam HaTorah. It is there that Klal Yisrael will collectively be mekabel Shabbos by undertaking to start learning hilchos Shabbos in Dirshu’s daily Daf HaYomi B’Halacha program.

The greatest zechus that a person can have to bring with him to the upcoming Yom Tov of Kabbolas HaTorah when we are all seeking ways to strengthen our bond with Torah and with Hashem, is Kabbolas Shabbos!

The spectacular Kinnus Olam HaTorah promises to be a maamad, a tremendous maamad of chizuk, kabbolas ol malchus shomayim and kabbolas ol haTorah. Leading Gedolei Yisrael from both Eretz Yisrael and America will address the event live and via video, giving over the daas Torah and guidance as to how we should conduct ourselves during these difficult times. They will tell us what the call of the hour is, and what every Yid can do to invoke rachamei shomayim.

"It's that time of the year again when we eagerly anticipate receiving the Torah anew, each time with a fresh sense of discovery and reverence. During Shevuos, we adorn our homes and Shuls with greenery and flowers, commemorating the blossoms that once adorned Mount Sinai.

In this spirit, we are pleased to share with you a live clip filmed a while back at the Kollel Shomrei Hachomos dinner. Alongside us on stage is Avrumi Berko which also joined us in solo, performing "Blimele," a beloved old time classic, originally recorded by Yeedle and composed by Eli Laufer."
