This niggun was taught by rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson the Lubavitcher Rebbe on Simchat Torah in 1959 [1] or 5719/1958 [2]. The tune is associated with the Avar tribal leader Imam Shamil and is used by the Hasidim to represent the soul's desire to free itself of the body's physical pleasures.

  • Sheyh Shamyl was not Taliban but was in contrast called a Murid.THe code of the Muridat include tolerance for all religons and to live with neighbors in peace.

  • Imam Shamil was an Avar, not Chechen. And he was certainly no Taliban, but fought valiantly for Caucasus freedom against Czarist rule. His fight reminded, le-havdil, the hopeless fight of Bar-Kochba against Roman rule. And Yids in the Russian empire resented bitterly the Czarist army, in which the Jewish youth was forcibly conscripted at the time.

    Deep niggun, symbolizing the solidarity of the Jews with all fight against Russian Czarist oppression.
