Niggun Tzeinah Ureinah
Tzeinah Ureinah is a nigun of devekus — cleaving to G‑d — sung by the Alter Rebbe. The nigun takes its name from the verse in Song of Songs (3:11):
Go forth and gaze, O daughters of Zion, upon King Solomon, upon the crown with which his mother crowned him on the day of his wedding, and on the day of the gladness of his heart.
This nigun is one of the Ten Niggunim of the Alter Rebbe.
On one occasion the Alter Rebbe explained the meaning of the words tzeinah ureinah in the service of G‑d: Tzeinah — "go forth" — means that when a person goes forth from his own self-centeredness, he merits ureinah — "and see" — to perceive G‑dliness.
This nigun has an additional passage that was only discovered shortly before the publication of Sefer HaNiggunim, Volume II (Part I). This additional passage was recorded from the Chassid R' Dovid Leib Marozov, who received it from his father R' Elchanan Dov Marozov, who had learned the Ten Niggunim directly from the Rebbe Rashab himself.
This nigun is Nigun No. 4 in Sefer HaNiggunim (the additional passage appears as Nigun No. 176).
