He suggested that the the text of Uforazto, which expressed the same thought, to a suitable melody. This stirring march was selected and has since become a favorite with the Chassidim at their periodic gatherings with the Rebbe.



Taught in the time of the
The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson
