Eli Chaim Carlebach (1925–1990) was a rabbi and spiritual leader.
Biography
[edit]He was born in 1925,[2] to Hartwig Naftali Carlebach and Paula (Pesse) Cohn. He was the twin brother of Shlomo Carlebach. The Carlebach family is a notable Jewish family originally from Germany that now lives all over the world. He studied at Yeshiva Mesivta Torah Vodaas, in Brooklyn, NY.[3]
On March 16, 1949, he married Hadassah Schneerson.[4] The wedding was attended by many great rabbis, including Rabbi Eliezer Silver.[5] Hadassa's father, Schneour Zalman Schneersohn,[6][circular reference] was a first cousin of Levi Yitzchak Schneerson, the father of the 7th Lubavitcher Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson,[7] who said the first 2 blessings under his wedding chupah.[8] Hadassah[9][circular reference] is a second cousin of Menachem Mendel Schneerson.
His daughter Sterna Citron wrote a book about her fathers stories.[10]
Career
[edit]After his father's death in 1967, Eli and his brother assumed the position of spiritual leaders of the Congregation Kehilath Jacob (Founded in 1945),[11] the landmarked[12] "Carlebach Shul," located in the Upper West Side of Manhattan.[13][14] The synagogue was famous for its worshippers, young and old, female and male, traditional and liberal who participated in services there.[15]
His grandson, Rabbi Naftali Citron, is the current Rabbi there.[16]
He was also the rabbi at the Hillside Jewish Center in New Jersey.[17]
He died of a heart attack at the age of 65.[18]
