2012-01-11T05:19:00.000-08:00

We've reached "The Toppermost of the Poppermost," folks. Week 9 of Radio Free Nachlaot's 2nd Annual 9 Weeks of Shlomo event climaxed with a visit from the highest and the holiest, Reb Moishe (Moshe Pesach Geller), who brings it down and gives it over like nobody else can. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD AND LISTEN to Reb Moish remembering our holy rebbe Reb Shlomo Carlebach, zt"l. What a great way to cap of what's been an extraordinary 9 weeks! Don't worry folks - you know what we say about Radio Free Nachlaot - it's "Where Shlomo Meets Jerry" - just because the 9 Weeks of Shlomo are over for this year doesn't mean you'll never hear about Shlomo again, oh no you can be SURE to receive a "Shot of Shlomo" every day on Radio Free Nachlaot - there isn't a single 24-hour period that goes by without Shlomo on the air!

Eight! The 8 above the 7! The BEYOND - and that's just what our interview with Chaim-Dovid Saracik was, truly THE BEYOND.

One of the BEST interviews we've ever done, and mamash the music - the sweetest.

Week 7 of The 9 Weeks of Shlomo - STEVE LEVINE Finally Gives His Shomo Interview!

2012-01-03T11:15:00.000-08:00

So, you'd think it would be easy to get Steve Levine to talk. After all, he's half of Radio Free Nachlaot, he's on the air every day playing music, giving over Torah, participating in interviews - but never as the INTERVIEWEE! But sooner or later, it had to happen. After all, Steve met Shlomo for the first time when he was 14 years old, and has been a "Shlomo Chassid" ever since - and finally we got him to sit down in the "Interviewee" seat and got his testimony!

The 9 Weeks of Shlomo - Week One - Shlomo's 16th Yartzeit (16 Cheshvan 5771) - Special Guest Betzalel Philip Edwards

2010-10-23T23:26:00.000-07:00

Radio Free Nachlaot -well, either we don't know when to quit OR we just have an overabundance of great ideas.

We always say about RFN that we're "where Shlomo meets Jerry," and remembering the wildly successful The 9 Days of Jerry we did August 1st - 9th celebrating the life and music of Jerry Garcia, we could do no less for Reb Shlomo, could we?

It was great to check the dates of his yartzeit (16 Cheshvan) and his Hebrew birthday (18 Teves) and - counting with baited breath - discover that YES, there is exactly 9 Weeks between the two! How could we NOT do a 9 Weeks of Shlomo tribute???

We kicked it off Moetzi Shabbos, 16 Cheshvan (October 23rd) with a live in-studio visit from Rav Betzalel Philip Edwards, who not only knew Shlomo during the last 5 years of Shlomo's life (1990 - 1995) but played in Shlomo's band and even made Aliyah to Israel on the same plane that Shlomo was on (really!).

The archived recording of our interview (in two parts) is available from our DOWNLOAD page OR you can CLICK HERE FOR PART ONE and then when you're ready, CLICK HERE FOR PART TWO.

We're going to be building this site piece by piece over the next 9 weeks - accumulating pictures, recordings and stories from friends who KNEW Shlomo in real life - it'll be a special place, we invite you to visit again and again - and LISTEN to Radio Free Nachlaot - we're internet radio live 24/6 from Nachlaot, Jerusalem's coolest (and funkiest!) neighborhood - we ARE "where Shlomo meets Jerry," and we hope you're as excited about meeting Shlomo right here as we are!
