Actually, up until 6 years ago this song was not at all known in any circles. The Bishtiner rebbe, who considers himself a Lubavitch chosid, from petach tikveh, used to sing this song alot.

Very good question.
Rabbi Horowitz released a CD with this Nuggun about 10 years ago in honor of his Daughters Chassuna.
At the wedding very respectable Chassidim from Lelov and Rachtmashtrivka Chasidim were there, brought this niggun back to Yerushalayim to their Rebbe’s.
From there this niggun caught fire in Yerushalayim and the rest of the Poilishe world.

This song was composed in honor of the Rebbes birthday יא ניסן תשדמ, by Sholom Halevi Horowitz. A similar chassidic song was sung by the chassidim of the tzemach tzedek. It was a very slow niggun, Rabbi Horowitz changed this slow niggun. He cut the last part. Added a new part in the middle and turned this,song into a fast niggun,since the Rebbe liked happy niggunim..This song is totally different than the original song. This song was sung at the Rebbes farbrengen. The Rebbe encouraged the niggun and made strongly with His hand for a months time. The words to… Read more »
