#10 Eishes Chayil (Niggun L'shabbos V'yom Tov)

00:00 Nigun ein zayin in Sefer HaNigunim is called Nigun L'Shabbos U'Yom Tov. However, I heard Beshem HaRav Gringlass from Montreal, once when he was a bachur in Otvatsk, and they had a raffle every Friday night who would be zoche to eat the seudah by the Friedike Rebbe. So one Friday night, him and HaRav Garlicki were zoche bagaral to eat by the Friedike Rebbe's house, and they saw the Friedike Rebbe singing Eishes Chayil with this tune. They described that the Friedike Rebbe was, his face was flam fire, his face looked like a malach. I also heard that Rav Nachum Goldschmidt once gave an explanation to this nigun, that this nigun describes that which the Alter Rebbe would say, ich vil zeh garnisht, that I don't want anything, not your ganeyden, not your Olam Haba. I just want nor az dich aleyn. I only want you, the Ibishter. We'll play this nigun the way it's in the Chayach, and then later, a sample of the way you could fit onto the words of the letter chefsher to the beginning and the end of Eishes Chayil. Eishes Chayil mi yimtzah, peruach oyd mitninim lichroach, botach bo, vey baylo, v'shalolo yachzor. Im alas u'to, yodea vaygo, kol yemei chayyei ood, troyshot zemirut eshtim, v'tazv'chem es kapreyo.
