0017 - Hu Elokeinu - Hein Goalti

00:01 The hem shech to what I was telling about the Nigun Ha'Alikenu. I wanna say something which I remember clearly that the Rebbe said it. I have spoken to many people about it, and all the people I spoke to don't remember that the Rebbe said it. And the truth is that even close to the time when the Rebbe said it, most people didn't-- told me that they didn't hear it. And the peal, the maiser we don't do as what I'm gonna say the Rebbe said, but I'm clear I remember when the Rebbe said it. And I'm just gonna say it the way I remember it. When the Rebbe taught the Nigun Ha'Alikenu, whether it was the night that he taught it, that morning on, uh, after Hakafas, after the meal, or it was the second night when he spoke about the Nigun or they sang the Nigun over, I don't remember when it was, but this is what the Rebbe said. How when they sang the Nigun, when they came to the words, "Hen go'alti eschem", that fal, till "achrit kivreishit li es lochem le'likim", was repeated twice. "Hen go'alti eschem achrit kivreishit li es lochem le'likim", repeated again, and afterwards goes a fal without words. Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay. So the peal, "Hen go'alti es", sung twice as if... If it's not done by Keset. If it's done stum, when you sing it by Fabrengen, that's how

01:14 they sing it. So the Rebbe said one, one-- at one of the time he said that we should not repeat the fal, "Hen go'alti eschem", singing it twice. Why? Because since when we say the Nigun, we sing the Nigun by Keset, we cannot repeat it. So we stop as soon as we finish, "achrit kivreishit li es lochem le'likim". And when we stop there, we will not sing that other part which doesn't have words because you're used to saying that part only after the second time, "Hen go'alti". And since we cannot say it a second time, because it's the middle of Keset, so bemeile we will not say afterwards the part... We'll not sing afterwards the part which doesn't have the words, which is just ay ay ay ay ay. So therefore, the Rebbe said that the way it should be done is that, "Hen go'alti eschem", even regularly when you sing, should only be sung once. And bemeile when you say in Keset it'll be the same way, and just like by regular singing, after the "achrit kivreishit li es lochem le'likim" goes the w- without words, by Keset we should also sing without words. But if we're gonna say it twice, then when it comes to Keset we won't be able to say it a second time, so we'll stop after the first and bemeile we'll stop, and that's exactly what we do. So the peal, even though the Rebbe said it then, afterwards the people still, guess didn't chap or whatever, still continue

02:28 singing it twice, and that's it, and the Rebbe never changed. By the Rebbe we know that if he said something and it just didn't catch on, that's it. He didn't... That's it. He never repeated it again. In many other things we have dugmoyes. So here also, the Rebbe said it, but it's nicht gefchap, and the peal, the people were singing the "Hen go'alti eschem" twice. And bemeile by chazarat hashatz, by Keset, the Nigun gets cut off, and we do not sing the, uh, at the end, ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay. And that's it, and that's what happened. This is the way I remember clearly that that's what the Rebbe said, but I'm repeating again, I spoke to many people, they don't remember. Even close then, there was no one chap to, no one remember. I can't say nobody, but that's... But this is in my mind a clear thing. I remember the Rebbe said it, but it's a nischt is kabul geworden for some reason, and the Rebbe left it, and that's how it is ad hayom hazeh.
