Melody of Four Stanzas

Rabbi Schneur Zalman's Nigun



Musical Notes

A melody, niggun, composed by Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, the first Chabad Rebbe. The song has four stanzas, corresponding to the four spiritual worlds, Atzilut, B'riah, Yetzirah, and Assiyah. Each stanza is intended to elevate the singer and listener to the next spiritual realm.

Due its holiness, this special melody is only sung on special occasions and dates.


Composed or Taught By
Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi

Wow! I was really moved by this melody, and just in time for Shabbat. We just went through Hurricane Ike, thank G-d we're OK. I needed some lifting today.
