Volume 6
Dokshitzer Nigun

Chassidim brought to Lubavitch tunes from various localities, which were called after their places of origin. This melody was composed by the Chabad disciples of Dokshitz, a small chassidic town in the Vilna district.

It is a lively tune of four stanzas. The joy and gaiety increase in intensity from stanza to stanza. This melody is often sung at chassidic gatherings.
