'''Extended topic – Niggunim the Rebbe Taught'''

In the first years of the Rebbe's leadership, on the night of Simchat Torah after Hakafot, the Rebbe would go up to the Rebbe Rayatz's apartment and have the holiday meal there. When the meal ended, the Rebbe would return to the synagogue and teach a new, unfamiliar niggun to the chassidim who remained there and continued dancing.

Usually, the Rebbe would also speak briefly about the niggun. This practice continued intermittently until 5724 (1964).

The Rebbe expressed that Simchat Torah is the most appropriate time to encourage the Mivtza Torah (Torah Campaign) and the Mivtza Ot B'Sefer Torah (Letter in a Torah Scroll Campaign).
