Soul Doctor tells the true story of the beloved and controversial father of popular Jewish music, Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach.
SOUL DOCTOR takes us on an exhilarating musical odyssey through the challenges and triumphs of this cultural phenomenon. A modern-day troubadour, Shlomo ignited the spirit of millions around the world with his soul-stirring melodies, transformative storytelling and boundless love. After his childhood escape from Nazi Germany, the young Rabbi formed an unlikely friendship with legendary jazz singer Nina Simone, who introduced him to soul and gospel music.
Fusing his roots with his new found inspiration, Shlomo created a revolutionary musical sound, writing songs that became instant standards. As a "Rock Star Rabbi" of the 1960s, he struggled to harmonize his traditional beliefs with the "free love" generation. Today, his uplifting music and message help to define America’s most defiant era.
