Yehuda Green

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 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. He heard his first Shlomo Carlebach album when he was five years old, He enjoyed singing Carlebach's songs at the Lubavitcher yeshiva that he attended.

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. One of the tracks on Green's first album, "Nishmas Kol Chai", became a favorite at kumzits gatherings in the Orthodox Jewish world, and Green acquired a following in Hasidic communities in Williamsburg and Monroe. He was the headliner at the two "Kumzits on the Hudson" concerts in 2008 and 2009. In 2014 he was the featured singer at a Yom HaAtzmaut gala at the Terrace on the Park in Queens, New York.

Green frequently performs at charity benefits. He was one of over 30 Orthodox Jewish superstars appearing on the 2010 Unity for Justice album to benefit the legal defense of Sholom Rubashkin. He was a featured singer at the HASC 22 "A Time for Music" concert in 2009. At the HASC 24 "A Time for Duets" concert in 2011, he sang an on-stage duet with Jewish singer Ohad and a virtual duet with Shlomo Carlebach, as the latter appeared on video footage. Green also lends his talents to annual musical evenings for the elderly and special needs population in Crown Heights. In 2024, Green released an album titled Amar Abayeh.

Hazzan In the late 1990s Green was asked to lead the High Holy Days prayers at the Carlebach Shul on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. He became an official hazzan at that synagogue in 1998.
