EXCERPTS FROM "A CARLEBACH CHORALE", Jewish Action, Volume 55 #3,Spring 1995
This is a 2-page article with reminiscences, and a few apparentquotes.  I excerpt only the apparent quotes.
I'm not sure how authentic these quotes are; and it may be thatthe journal editted what the contributers recalled as the quote.
                   
RABBI TZVI HERSCH WEINREB
"Around 1956...in Boro Park ... He answered us with a song about asong.  'Have you ever heard about Rav Nachman of Bratislav?'  Wehadn't.  He took out the Likutei Maharan (1:64,5) and began toread and interpret in that inimitable sing-song.  'Every idea hasits own song.   Even apikorus, heresy, has its song.  All theideas in the Torah have a song, but the highest song of all isEmunah, faith.  It incorporates and dissolves all the othersongs.'
	He looked at us with no judgement or criticism, only concern. 'Brothers, you're singing the wrong song.  Sing a song with me.' We sang 'Ruach' a long time ...
                   
                         
MICHA ODENHEIMER
	This past summer (ie, Summer 1994), on one of his frequent2:00 A.M visits to the Kotel, Shlomo used the following maschal: 'If you meet someone on the street that you hardly know, he mayask you what's new, and even though you haven't seen him in half ayear, you won't have anything to say.  The closer you are to aperson, the more that person cares about everything you do -- ifyou are really close, he even wants to know what you had forbreakfast.  Idolatrous gods care only about the big things.   Themore your belief in the one G-d, the more it means you believe HEcares about everything do.'
	.... Lag B'Omer last year (ie, 1994) Shlomo spoke about themidah of 'hod' or Splendour, the quality exemplified by AharonhaCohen.
	'What's the difference between beauty (tiferet) and splendor(hod)?  I can be beautiful inside and out, and it means that I ambeautiful and someone else is not.  Hod is that I refuse to bebeautiful unless everyone else in the world is beautiful too.'
	[no quote] If a Jew does mitzvot in the name of all Israel,with the intention of fixing the whole world, then when a nonreligious person sees him on the street, he is going to like him.[close quote; but no clear if that section was presented as aquote from R. Shlomo]

AVRAHAM ARIEH TRUGMAN notes:
	A few years ago, Reb Shlomo was working on a book of histeachings.  wehn asked what titel should be given to it, his replywas, 'Broken Glkass at a Wedding.;  He explained that a person'sheart should be laughting and crying simultaneously.  'teh worldis so beautiful and I love G-d and life so much, how can I not bejoyful?  On the other hand, until the world is per\fected andMoshiach comes, how can I turn my hearde from thos ewho arespritually hungry, sad and borken ...

FROM EULOGY AT THE CARLEBACH SHUL, BY SHLOMO'S COUSIN _____CARLEGACH

" ... Shlomo eulogized his saintly fasther with words which wouldbe most approprate about himself ... '...Those who met him willnever forget him.  Those whom he touched had the strength toremain Jews even when their world fell apart and was destroyed.'"
