Скачать или смотреть Shoshanas Yakov Chabad - Mendel Markel - שושנת יעקב חב׳׳ד – מענדל מארקעל

A classic Chabad Nigun that was sung by the Lubavitcher Rebbe at Purim Farbrengen, set to the words of the liturgy recited following the reading of the Megillah on Purim.

The joyful melody traces its origins to chassidim of the Alter Rebbe, who composed it as an upbeat but intricate tune. The nigun was sung by the choir of bochurim from Yeshivas Tomchei Temimim in Lubavitch during the days of Purim.

On Yud-Tes Kislev, the choir would also sing the tune with special words connected to the day’s celebration, including phrases such as “Shoshanas Chassidim” with expressions marking the Alter Rebbe’s geulah.

At the Purim farbrengen of 5740 (1980), the Rebbe asked for the niggun to be sung.

“Shoshanas Yaakov” appears as Niggun #54 in Sefer Haniggunim.
