Ways to connect (Shuls, Minyanim, Events):

The Shtibl in Los Angeles – the closest thing to the real world embodiment of neohasid.org.

Your Spark – links to events related to Kabbalah and Chasidus, the Carlebach Shul, and more, mostly in New York City.

Kehilat Romemu – renewal Chasidus in the Big Apple.

You can also check out The Worldwide Chevra Communities of Reb Shlomo Carlebach page for extensive (though sometimes outdated) information about Carlebach minyanim around the world.

MORE – links to shuls, Torah and rabbis, arts, etc.

Go to the events page (view or add your own). See Beautiful Struggles for links to over a hundred Jewish blogs.

Online Music Resources:

The Modzitz Music page – Modzitzer Nigunim ready to download, straight from old recordings. The Modzitz dynasty is the Hasidic sect most known for its music above all others.

Reb Shlomo's music – put out by the Carlebach Foundation, with lots of clips from each album on linked pages. Reb Shlomo is all over the net, but you can be sure that the material here isn't pirated.

"Hevre" albums – this link is defunct, but I'm keeping it here in case someone knows where the material can be found!

Hundreds of Chabad nigunim can be found on chassidus.com: a) as sung by the Rebbe, b) as sung by other folks, c) with introductions in English. There's also a Russian site, subtitled Hanichoach (in Cyrillic), with lots more Chabad nigunim.

Nigunim from the Biala rebbe.

Note: Some sites only offer .ra/.ram (RealAudio) files, rather than .mp3 or other formats. You don't need RealPlayer's badly-behaved software to listen to them. Instead, you can download Real Alternative from freeware sites like free-codecs.com.

Articles on individual rebbes – reprinted from various Orthodox magazines are collected on the Kehillas Zichron Mordechai website.
