The “Poltava Niggun” was composed by the tzaddik and chassid Rav Yaakov Morechai Bespalov, rav of Poltava, Ukraine. Rav Yaakov Mordechai would rise at midnight and spend hours preparing himself for morning prayers.

I woke up this morning with a tshuka for the Paltova niggun before davening. Thanks for sharing.
I hear the soul of one who is dedicated to being oisek betzarchei tzibbur (and of course teaching Torah to the masses) and the depth and feeling is tangible – thank you Rabbi Yy for all your holy work
amazing
So emotional…! Thank you!
