Known as Reb Shlomo, 'The Singing Rabbi' and 'The Pied Piper of Judaism', Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach is widely considered the foremost Jewish religious songwriter of the 20th century who continues to influence Jewish rock bands. His influence also continues to this day in the Carlebach minyanim (small communities or prayer groups) located in many cities around the globe.

Although his roots lay in traditional Orthodox yeshivot (traditional Jewish institutions of higher learning), he branched out to create his own movement combining Hasidic-style warmth and personal interaction, public concerts, and song-filled synagogue services. Carlebach was also considered a pioneer of the Baal Teshuva (one who embraces or returns to Orthodox Judaism) movement encouraging disenchanted Jewish youth to re-embrace their heritage. Often considered a radical rabbinic figure, his influence transformed modern Judaism.
