Yehuda Green (born 1959) is a Hasidic Jewish singer and composer, and hazzan at the Carlebach Shul on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Singing in the style of legendary singer-rabbi Shlomo Carlebach (1925–1994), he has been called "more Carlebach than Carlebach", and is acclaimed for his heartfelt renditions of Carlebach's songs.〔 ==Biography== Yehuda Green was born in the Mea Shearim area of Jerusalem to a family of Breslover Hasidim.〔Besser, Yisroel. "The Songs We Sang". ''Mishpacha'' supplement: "10 Years". Pesach 5774 (Spring 2004), p. 39.〕 He heard his first Shlomo Carlebach album when he was five years old,〔 and was encouraged by his father to sing Carlebach's composition, "''Mimkomcha''" ("From Your Place"), again and again. He enjoyed singing Carlebach's songs at the Lubavitcher yeshiva that he attended.〔 In 1969 he attended his first Carlebach performance, and began frequenting Carlebach's Melaveh Malkah performances on Saturday nights on Mount Zion whenever the singer was in Israel.〔 After his bar mitzvah, Green went to hear Carlebach lead the prayers at the Western Wall on Friday nights.〔 In 1980 Green attended a ''kumzits'' in Golders Green, London, where Carlebach was performing. Carlebach invited him to sing with him at a concert he was giving the following night. Green says he was so embarrassed that he agreed to perform only from behind a curtain.〔 Green made his first recording of Carlebach songs in the early 1990s, and asked Carlebach for his opinion. The singer wasn’t happy with the arrangements, which put Green in a difficult position with his music arranger. In the end, the material was destroyed in a fire at the recording studio.〔 Green is married to his wife, Marni, and splits his time between living in New York and St. Louis. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yehuda Green」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
