A first music video was released from the all Chabad niggunim album by singer Nemouel Harroch and producer Dani Avidani.
Accompanied by both men and boys choirs, the duo performed 10 Chassidic melodies in 4 recording studios for the new album titled “Hisgalut” which is already selling fast.
The melody was composed by the prolific composer, Chabad vocalist and great Chossid, Rabbi Sholom Charitonov OBM of Ukraine.
“This is one of the most interesting projects in the world of Chassidic music in the past few years,” says music publicist Tomer Cohen.

In Sefer Hanigunim, this nigun is #66 and is attributed to R.Sholom Charitonow. What is the source for the other opinions?
I would love to know more background on this nigun. When was it taught? When was it brought to Lubavitch? Which Rebbe taught it?
This niggun, although beautiful and hartzig, does sound a bit different than the average Charitonow style niggun. Just saying.
I understand where you are coming from (especially if you have the זכות to be personally invested). I did not ח”ו intend any העדר הכבוד and certainly know that all the Charitonov מחברים were exceptional composers and profound Chassidim.

And He Definatly Didn’t Need Any Outside Sources… And This is The Fact That He Composed This Nigun. “Ki Hinei KaChoimer” As You can Hear in the nigun ITSELF the pirush hamilois of the “ki hinei Kachoimer”. And in my Opinion: saying that Any of The Charitonow Composers, Harav Hachosid reb Avrohom Charitonow – who was all Ready A Yungerman in the Times of the Tzemach Tzedek – and was Nifter Tof Reish Ayin Beis.

It may be that Reb Aharon put the words כי הנה כחומר to the nigun, but it may be one of those nigunim which was נתברר from outside sources. I can tell you that I was told by an elderly Hungarian Jew (he was in his early 80’s at the time) that this tune is an old Hungarian Lullaby. He sang me the entire song with its Hungarian words as he remembers it vividly from the days his mother would rock him to sleep with it.. Needless to say I was surprised but his rendition of the tune was virtually… Read more »
I’ll have to agree with 1 and 2. It’s Reb Aharon’s niggun not Reb sholom’s
The nigun sounds very smooth. The points and and sharp edges of the souls outcry have been filed and sanded down to a smooth and rounded finish
. really Hartizger nigun…beautiful….!!
very moving album!
beautiful
