A niggun is a wordless melody that expresses deep meaning and emotion. This particular niggun, sung by Rabbi Eli Silberstein, was composed to reflect the story of a military leader named Shamil who was tricked by the Russian army and imprisoned as a result. The story is an analogy for the soul’s imprisonment in the body here on earth and its desire to free itself through performing Torah and mitzvot. Join Rabbi Eli Silberstein for this moving musical experience.
