Neshama Carlebach - Create Your Own Future - Episode 61

The Great Day Podcast with Meir Kay

Neshama Carlebach is an award-winning singer, songwriter, and educator who has performed and taught in cities around the world. A six-time entrant in the Grammy Awards and a winner and four-time nominee in the Independent Music Awards for her most current release, Believe, Neshama has sold over one million records, making her one of today’s best-selling Jewish artists in the world.

She collaborates with musicians of different faiths, and partners with organizations, synagogues, and churches. Neshama has been a cornerstone of major Jewish music festivals across the U.S. and globally, performing in front of thousands at an interfaith peace summit in Mt. Fuji, Japan, at the gates of Auschwitz on Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day), and at countless concerts and gatherings for audiences of all ages and backgrounds.

As the first then-Orthodox woman of her generation to perform for a mixed-gender audience, Neshama is a strong advocate for religious pluralism and human rights. She has sparked public conversations with brave forays into the place of women in Judaism and today’s world.

Neshama began training as a singer and actress at the age of five. As a teenager, she performed alongside her father, the late Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach. Today she lives in New York with her husband Rabbi Menachem Creditor, and their five children.

This episode is a very powerful one! Neshama shares her story and training to become a world-renowned singer, her past, forgiveness, and how one can grow and look past things that are out of their control. This is an episode I truly hope you enjoy!
