'''Devekut Niggun''' is a niggun of devotion for Shabbat prayers attributed to the [[The Alter Rebbe|Alter Rebbe]]. With this niggun, the Rebbe Rashab and the Rebbe Rayatz would pray with immense devekut (attachment) and enthusiasm according to the Chabad approach every Shabbos when they prayed in private.


The Rebbe Rayatz once expressed about this niggun: "When one prays at length and engages in Divine service, the niggun emerges by itself."

Since the movements of this niggun rise and fall from contemplative thought and deep intent in prayer, and according to the spiritual states and heart feelings of the tzaddik, it is difficult to determine the precise order of the sections of this niggun.

Sheet music of the nigun

This Niggun Deveykus is a nigun of devekus — cleaving to G‑d — for the Shabbos prayers, attributed to the Alter Rebbe. Both the Rebbe Rashab and the Frierdiker Rebbe (the Previous Rebbe, R' Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn) would pray with this nigun, with immense devekus and fervor in the Chabad manner, every Shabbos Kodesh when they prayed alone.

The Frierdiker Rebbe once remarked about this nigun:[1]

When one prays at length and engages in avodah, the nigun emerges on its own.

Because the movements of this nigun rise and fall according to deep contemplative thought and intense concentration in prayer, and according to the shifting states of the soul and the heart's feeling within the tzaddik, it is difficult to establish a fixed order for its phrases. At times one phrase would come first, at times another; sometimes he would pause between phrases to recite the words of the prayer itself, and sometimes he would hum only passages of the nigun. For this reason, the nigun appears in an additional version in Sefer HaNiggunim, Volume II (Part I), as heard from the Chassid R' Dovid Leib Marozov, who received it from his father R' Elchanan Dov Marozov.

This nigun is Nigun No. 8 in Sefer HaNiggunim (the alternate version is Nigun No. 178).
