Video: Shloime Daskal, Mezamrim and Blue Melody Perform Haneiros Hallalu

Although not from a Chabad background, Jewish music producer Chaim Rosenblatt had always been enthralled by the Chabad Niggun Haneiros Hallalu since he first heard it as a child on Avraham Fried’s album ‘Hupp Cossack.’

Rosenblatt explained to CrownHeights.info in an e-mail:

As you probably know, the origins of this Chabad Masterpiece is uncertain, (I have done my research – speaking to many, including R’ Lipskier) it is believed to have been composed by the Talmidim of the “Maharash”, the 4th Rebbe of Chabad-Lubavitch. The Rebbe was not well. He would come out for Neiros Chanukah. The Chasdim composed a long song for Hanieros Halalu so that he would stay out longer!

Not a Chanukah goes by without me and my family signing this memorizing tune!

I have wanted to perform this piece live at a wedding for the past 2-3 years. It’s not a simple feat. It needs the right setting. The right singer. The perfect accompaniment.

This year, on December 23rd, Zos Chanukah, we did it! We played to the soul of this tune! I hope you enjoy this and able to appreciate the hard work that went into this performance!

Help me spread my love for this tune by posting and sharing and enabling thousands of families are huddled together in their homes over the next day or so “snowed in”, to  warm up to this truly magnificent rendition of Haneiros Halalu”.
