The Nigun "We Want Moshiach Now" - Part IV

00:00 Behemeshech to the earlier installments about the nigun, we want Mashiach now, and behemeshech to Achashverosh Pesach, which signifies ingein haGeulah. We continue now in conclusion of this series discussing brief references of the Rebbe to this nigun. In Likutei Sichos, Chelek Chof, Volume 20, Page 234, which is based on the Sichos of the 10th of Teves and Shabbos Parshas VaYchi, Tov Shimem Alef, 1981, the Rebbe says as follows, We see as a matter of fact that when a Yid is told Ot Ot Kumt Mashiach, Mashiach is coming very soon, and we want Mashiach now, this accomplishes an hastening, an enhancement in Avedes Hashem, and an overly caution so that no negative aspect should hinder the arrival of Mashiach. In the Farbrengen of Shabbos Parshas Va'eira, Tov Shimem Alef, 1981, the Rebbe said, and it should be the will of Hashem that this concept should also be drawn down in the intellectual capabilities in a person's mind, which is Chabad, Chochma, Bino, and Daas. It should be Yadati that one becomes knowledgeable, and the priority is that we should have the redemption now, which means immediately, which is heard and understood also by the English, that it should be a complete and ultimate redemption in our time, Mamish. The third occasion, during the Farbrengen on Shabbos Parshas Matas Tov Shimem Alef, summer of 1981, the Rebbe instructed the children on the Bar Mitzvah to sing the nigun, We Want Mashiach Now. It seemed that the children were not present. The Rebbe then asked, are all the children

02:30 in camp? And the Rebbe then began singing the nigun, followed by Chassidim. On a fourth occasion, on Shabbos Parshas Kisetzey Tov Shimem Alef, that's the end of the summer of 1981, the Rebbe, prior to the conclusion of the Farbrengen, turned to the children and said that surely they will not forget to sing the nigun, We Want Mashiach Now. After Mincha, upon leaving the shul, the Rebbe began singing this nigun. On another occasion yet, at the conclusion of the Vor Tishri Farbrengen in Tov Shimem Beis, late 1981, when the Rebbe spoke about the nigun, We Want Mashiach Now, he asked while he began singing the nigun, where are the Tzein Kadoshim, the children who are referred to as the genuine and sacred Tzein sheep, that they should sing, We Want Mashiach Now. In conclusion, and to make a summation, in the early months 1980s, towards the conclusion of a Farbrengen, the Rebbe would either instruct to sing this nigun, or he would personally begin singing this nigun. On various occasions, there were also additional nigunim that the Rebbe requested, which should be sung, plus this nigun amongst them. It was customary by the Rebbe when leaving the shul after Mincha, which followed a Shabbos Farbrengen, to begin singing a nigun. In the above mentioned years, the Rebbe would quite often begin singing this nigun, We Want Mashiach Now. At times, he would ask during the Farbrengen for the nigun to be sung, and after Mincha, he would himself begin singing this nigun. On some occasions, upon

04:46 the conclusion of Keshev Beracha, when the Rebbe would after a Farbrengen distribute wine to all, the Rebbe would begin to leave the shul while beginning to sing the nigun, We Want Mashiach Now. After this audio, we will hear the Rebbe singing the nigun on two occasions. One of them was at the conclusion of the Farbrengen of the 10th of Kislev, Tov Shimem Alef, late 1980, and the second one was at the Farbrengen of Chavdalah Teves, which was in the beginning of 1981. The first audio is about a half a minute, and the second one is about 20 seconds. We want Mashiach now. We want Mashiach now. We want Mashiach now. We want Mashiach now. We want Mashiach now. We want Mashiach now. We want Mashiach now. We want Mashiach now. We want Mashiach now. We want Mashiach now. We want Mashiach now. We want Mashiach now.
