Numa Numa Nachman

You MUST check out this blog page, where my buddy, the Proto Reb Bolton, has assembled a collection of You Tube videos that trace the spread of an infectious Romanian dance tune around the globe.

PRB first heard it in Israel, to a spirited mantra sung about the great Rebbe Nachman of Bratslav, which he likes to burst into, with very little warning, during our chevruta study sessions in the library. What a delight.

He has recently learned that while the lyrics of the mantra are unique, the tune itself is actually part of something much bigger.
