0579 - R' Dovid Raskin Reading the Posuk of Ufaratzta

00:00 In Tov Shin Chai, the Rebbe started with the holding of Uferatzto, and he kochted them for a long time. And from then on, the Mada of Lubavitch became Uferatzto. And in our Torah, so we say the Pasuk Uferatzto, and then they had the Nigun of Uferatzto. First it was with the tune of Dayenu. Day, Dayenu, that Nigun, that's how the Uferatzto was. And then from Eretz Yisrael, they brought the other Nigun, the new one. They used to call it the new Uferatzto. That was the tune of a Dubrovnik Nigun. And that became the Nigun, the Rebbe was Mekabel it, et cetera, et cetera. But I want to mention something interesting, that when Reb Dovid Raskin used to be the Baal Kriya by the Rebbe's Minyan Monday and Thursday, so when he came to the Pasuk Uferatzto, he would sing it, say it with a special tune. He would use the same tune as you say by the Shira, that if a Pasuk has Hashem's name in it, so you say it with a different tune, those words. I can imagine with the Shira LaHashem, So he would say the same thing by the Pasuk Uferatzto. He would say, And he would read it with that. Now, the other Baal Kriya did not, not when Yehuda Gordon read it. When Reb Yehuda Gordon read it, he said it regular. When Reb Michael Shusterman said, read it, he said it regular. But Reb Dovid, all the years, whenever he would come to this Pasuk Uferatzto, Mekri SaTeira,

01:28 he would read those words with a special tune, like the tune that you read by the Shira. And it was done in front of the Rebbe. The Rebbe didn't comment. I don't remember ever the Rebbe making a comment or saying anything, but it looked like it was Mekabel
