Nye Zhuritzi Shlopzti (Live) Recorded at a recent farbrengen (Chassidic gathering), this is one of the liveliest nigunim sung by Chassidim. The nigun is based on a Russian song which describes the happiness of the wagoneers as they think about the approaching stop at the tavern where they will have vodka. The nigun was sung by the Chassidim of the Mittler Rebbe of Chabad. As explained by the Rebbes of Chabad, it alludes to the study and prayer "pit-stops" that everyone needs to make on their journey through life. Without the "taverns" where one can refresh one's soul, it is impossible to instill happiness in the journey." Composed by the Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh
