Question

A shul on West 79th founded by a rabbi from this dynasty sings original niggunim (“nee-goo-NEEM”), like the psalm Esa Einai (“ESS-ah AY-nigh”) and Pitchu Li (“PEET-hoo LEE”), in neo-Hasidic minyans. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this family of guitarists Neshama (“neh-SHA-ma”) and Shlomo, a singer-songwriter whose catchy new tunes for Jewish liturgy, kumzits, and Kabbalat Shabbat (“ka-ba-LOT sha-BOT”) shot to fame from ’60s hippie counterculture until the MeToo era.
ANSWER: Carlebach (“CARL-bach” or “CAR-lee-bach”) [accept Shlomo Carlebach, Neshama Carlebach, or Hartwig Naftali Carlebach; accept Carlebach movement or Carlebach minyan]
[10m] In Shlomo Carlebach’s rallying cry for refuseniks, “Am Yisrael” (“awm yees-RA-el”) and “Od Avinu” (“ode ah-VEE-noo”) are followed by this Hebrew word for “life” that is often worn on pendants and numerologically inspires gifts in multiples of 18.
ANSWER: chai (“high”) [accept Am Yisrael Chai or Od Avinu Chai; accept chaya or chayyim]
[10e] Carlebach tunes are popular at this ceremony along with the traditional Shavua Tov (“sha-VOO-uh TOVE”) and Eliyahu Hanavi (“el-ee-AH-hoo ha-na-VEE”). This service marking the end of Shabbat features fragrant spices and a braided candle dipped in wine.
ANSWER: Havdalah (“hahv-DULL-uh” or “hahv-dah-LAH”)
