INCREDIBLE NIGGUN

This niggun when the Poltava was wiping his wine cup and spent 3 hrs doing it while singing this melody.........one has to close their eyes and listen.

WE CAN'T appreciate nowadays with the things we have and materialism.

	Poltava Nigun
Poltava, Ukraine, 1882. The Shabbat meal is long finished. While most are taking a Shabbat rest, we will make our way to the main synagogue. Quietly we will slip in and sit on a bench the corner. Do you hear a haunting melody? Look, there is someone wrapped in a prayer shawl, slowly swaying. Ah, it's the Rabbi of the town, Reb Yankov Mordechai, still praying, quite oblivious to the time of day. Listen closely as he hums this tune as he bridges the gap between the finite and the infinite.
