Editing Niggun Bnei Heichala (section)

== Origins of the Niggun ==
It is brought down that when Reb Yechiel Michel of Zlotchov came to [[the Maggid of Mezritch]], he would eat two meals with the Maggid, and would make the third meal by himself. The Maggid instructed the Alter Rebbe to go to Reb Michel's third meal that Shabbos. There, the Alter Rebbe received the niggun that Reb Michel used to sing by [[the Baal Shem Tov]].

Therefore, we find that the niggun is sometimes attributed to both Reb Michel and the Baal Shem Tov.

In the courts that follow Reb Michel of Zlotchov's tradition, the niggun is sung with slight variations.

According to another opinion, the niggun was composed by [[Reb Hillel Paritcher]].

This niggun is number 10 in Sefer HaNiggunim.

This niggun was sung several times in the presence of [[the Rebbe]], when farbrengens took place during [[Shabbos]] afternoon hours.
