Lubavitcher singer Isrolik Bash performed the age-old Chabad niggun ‘Elu v’Elu Omrim’, a haunting niggun about teshuva, together with a more recent addition.
The words of the niggun are taken from the Gemara in Maseches Sukkah.
The niggun is recorded in Sefer Nigunim as Nigun 108, as an ancient tune from the early days of Chabad chassidus. Around 40 years ago, the renowned mashpia Reb Mendel Futerfas added a higher stanza to it, and that is the way it is commonly sung today.
Just wondering what is the source for this that Reb Mendel futerfas added the high part to this niggun?
