An old Hasidic nigun from the time of the Chasidim of the Alter Rebbe, first generation of Chabad, often sung at a spiritual Hasidic gathering, or “farbrengen”, in Yiddish. I relate to this particular melody as a nigun for the ordinary moment, when I am called neither to ecstasy nor deep contemplation. This nigun reminds me that right here in this present, neutral moment, the Divine is here, too. This nigun is dedicated to our dear Nachman Futterman, of blessed memory, who truly lived the Divine in each moment.
Dedicated by Miriam Futterman, for her beloved Nachman ob”m
