0682 - R' Yoel Kahn 32 - R' Zalman Dutchman Said that R' Yoel Know How to Chazer a Nigun

00:02 When the Rebbe would teach the new nigun, far toksim chasdei re, after the fabrengen and then hakofes, and then the Rebbe would eat seudas yontef upstairs in the apartment of the Friediker Rebbe. He would come down about four thirty, five o'clock in the morning, and he would give mashke to those who take upon themselves a hissaf, an addition in learning chassidus. And at that time, the Rebbe would teach a new nigun. So when he would do that, after the Rebbe would sing it, he would ask Reb Yael to repeat it. He would also ask Reb Moshe Toleševsky to repeat it because he was a chazan. But he also asked Reb Yael to repeat it. And Reb Yael would repeat it, and that would be every time, like I said, Reb Yael would repeat it and try to repeat it. And I remember that at one occasion, and at this moment, I don't remember exactly it was occasion. I have certain thoughts, but I'm not saying it because I'm not sure, that the Rebbe said out loud when he was trying to have someone sing a nigun. And the Rebbe said that Reb Zalman Duchman otach gezogt az Yael ken chazer nanigun. That Reb Zalman Duchman said that Reb Yael knows how to repeat a nigun. So the Rebbe said it berabim in the name of Reb Zalman Duchman, but he said that Reb Yael could repeat a nigun, and that's when he asked him to say it, and I don't remember exact... Again, at which

01:11 occasion, trying to remind myself. But the Rebbe used that loshon for sure. I remember he said, "Reb Zalman Duchman hot gezogt oder zogt az Yael ken chazer nanigun."
