Reb Azriel David opened his eyes to the sight of the singing train. In a choked voice, he cried: "I will give half of my portion in the World to Come to whoever can take my song to the Modzitzer Rebbe!"

Two things happen--my spirit soar & my tears fall--as I listen to this in the quiet of night by my computer.

I was very much moved by this and the singing of Ani Maamin. Thank you

Last year on Asarah b'Tevet, my seminary took us to Yad Vashem. There, we sat down together in front of a real cattle car and our guide told us this story. Then, she turned on her tape and we all joined along singing "Ani Ma''amin" with tears streaming down our faces...
Reb Azriel David- if only you knew what a powerful thing you have accmplished with this niggun...
May we merit to greet Moshiach NOW!!

Thank you Rabbi Dorfman for writing this beautiful story and sharing it with the readers of Chabad.org . As I sit here on T'isha B'Av 5769, a mere 67 years after this story took place, and having just completed the Kinnos (mournful poems), I feel connected to all the Kedoshim (holy martyrs) who were murdered throughout our history including those during the Holocaust. Thank you for adding another dimension to the hauntingly beautiful niggun that I have known all my life. Singing along with it just now, has touched my soul. May we merit to sing this Ani M'amin very soon in the 3rd and final Bais Hamikdosh. Thank you again,
