Nye Chadi

This niggun in Russian, is a conversation between a father and his son. The son wants to go to the Rebbe in Lubavitch, but the father, being a Misnaged, does not want him to go.

The father tries to bribe him with a new hat, new boots. But the son rejects the presents saying that he still wants to go to Lubavitch. The father tries to threaten him with a beating, but the son is not fazed.

This niggun is traditionally sung on Yud Tes Kislev - the Rosh Hashana for Chasidus.
