Biography

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 Hadassa Schneerson.[4] The wedding was attended by many great rabbis, including Rabbi Eliezer Silver.[5] His father in law was first cousin to the 7th Lubavitcher Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson,[6] who said the first 2 blessings under his wedding chupah.[7]

His daughter Sterna Citron wrote a book about her fathers stories.[8]

Career

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),[9] the landmarked [10] "Carlebach Shul," located in the Upper West Side of Manhattan.[11][12] The synagogue was famous for its worshippers, young and old, female and male, traditional and liberal who participated in services there.[13]

His grandson, Rabbi Naftali Citron, is the current Rabbi there.[14]

He was also the rabbi at the Hillside Jewish Center in New Jersey.[15]

He died of a heart attack at the age of 65.[16]

gollark: (Obviously they can't entirely ban it)
gollark: It also seems to function as a plausibly deniable way to ban end to end encryption (it never mentions it explicitly but does have a mechanism to force technology companies to make their service amenable to centralised monitoring).
gollark: The UK government is also working on the incredibly ææææ "online safety bill", which obliges online things to ban "harmful content" (not illegal, "harmful").
gollark: I do know about this.
