The late Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach and contemporary singer Eli Levin "joined together" in a new music video titled "Ani Maamin", transporting viewers to the streets of Jerusalem where the eternal promise of redemption hovers tantalizingly in the air.
Released 50 years after the surprise Yom Kippur attack on Israel, Ani Maamin, the video, directed by Daniel Finkelman, shows footage of Rabbi Carlebach roaming Jerusalem with his guitar during the 19-day-long war.
The song features previously unreleased vocals of Carlebach blended in an updated arrangement with Levin, who retraces Carlebach’s steps in the video.
Ani Maamin was composed by Cecelia Margules, one of several songs written by the songster that were recorded by Carlebach. Being able to introduce Carlebach’s music and his incredible love for every Jew to a new generation is particularly meaningful to Margules, as is being able to convey the heightened emotion that engulfed Jews worldwide as Israel was attacked on the holiest day of the year.
A SparksNext production directed by Daniel Finkelman, Ani Maamin was co-directed by Aharon Orian and arranged by Doni Gross.

Very nice clip, yet I am convinced that the black and white footage is not actually shlomo, but a very good impersonation of his. Does that make sense?
i think its either actors, ai, or both
Anon: Its a much younger Shlomo.
it's an actor
def not shlomo
Definitely not Shlomo!
This song was recorded on the album HARMONY, songs by Cecelia Margules in 1990 featuring Shlomo Carlebach, Martin Davidson, Sherwood Goffin, Yoel Sharabi, Sandy Shmueli & Sol Zim
do the stories of rav shlomo carlebach's sexual assault's to young women, as told by many women over the years, have any truth to them or they are all fabricated and false stories just in order to sully his holy reputation?
Not Shlomo I think not even close if you look closely
here is a clip from the yom kippur war time frame https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFjLQkNp4as
cl;early not him
His mother turned down his wishes to get married to a couple of specific young ladies
Was too snobby
It was her fault
Ye, just his voice. Video is all acting
According to published liner notes on the Margules Harmony album, the song was actually composed by Arnie Gross (?). https://rsa.fau.edu/album/38273
