Editing Niggun HaRebbe Shlita (section)

== Origin of the Niggun ==
In preparation for the first Lag BaOmer parade in 5740 (1980) in Tel Aviv, several bochurim sat in the zal of the yeshiva in Kfar Chabad and began composing songs for the parade. As part of those slogans and songs, the bochur Avshalom Kil brought out a song that was previously composed for a parade in Kiryat Gat by him (with the assistance of Eliezer Yakunt), called "The Rebbe" - words expressing appreciation for the Rebbe Shlita. This song was composed to a well-known Israeli melody of a popular children's song among the non-observant public. The song was warmly adopted by the parade management committee, since the melody was popular among Israeli children, and at the parade itself, the well-known entertainer Moti Giladi (who was among the attractions brought to the parade) even sang it on stage.

Later, this niggun was also used in Chabad camps throughout Israel, such as in the Chabad camp held in Tzfat in 5741 (1981) by Rabbi Rami Antian, thus exposing it to additional Anash and Tmimim.
