Video: MBD Sings ‘Chabadsker Niggun’

Mordechai Ben David sings the ‘Chabadsker Niggun’ at the Simchas Bais Hashoeva of congregation Shaarei Torah in Los Angeles, CA.

What has become known as the ‘Chabadsker Niggun’ is in essence a Niggun that dates back some one hundred and fifty years, from the students of the Tzemach Tzedek, the third Lubavitcher Rebbe. It can be found in Sefer Haniggunim as Niggun #42, and was originally sung much slower.

    This really swings. You can feel the love that Mordechai Ben David has for the nigun. The keyboardist is using a great beat and his harmonies are wonderful, especially the C half-diminished 7th to the F -7th to the B -flat minor chord in the 5th and 6th bars of the second section.

      Ha-ha-ha-ha! Yes, I’m speaking musical language, but it’s such a beautiful route to the sub-dominant chord, for those who know music.

    • AT LONG LAST

      Yes, The world is finally waking up to appreciate the beautiful, meaningful songs of Chabad.

    # 6 not all chassidim do the mitzvah tantz,Lubavitch & other Russian chassidic groups do not.
    So don’t say cahssidishe weddings say Poilishe or Hungarishe or Galitzianer.

    It is a wonderful niggun. My sons sing this niggun in their yeshivos (non-chabad). I have never heard Chabadniks sings this song. To #2: what is the correct way?

  • enough!!!!

    Recently two nigunim were captured by the renowned singers and completely twisted out of their correct version, beat and meaning. To the ears of the real “Baal menagein” this is awful. This particular nigun is so meaningful and beautiful when sung the right way.
    I appeal to singers and musicians – PLEASE before singing or playing a nigun chabad, check with a senior Baal menagein from chabad that you got it right.
