The Tale of a Niggun

In Elie Wiesel's poignant narrative poem, a ghetto faces a harrowing decision during World War II, as Nazi officials demand ten Jews to be sacrificed in reprisal for Haman's ten sons. As fear grips the community, the rabbi seeks guidance from the spirits of revered historical figures, yet no answers emerge. Amidst the looming threat of annihilation, he shares a powerful, wordless melody inspired by the Baal Shem Tov, igniting hope and unity among the residents as they prepare to vocalize their defiance and resilience in a final, soaring tribute.
