Like many other Hassidic sects, Chabad-Lubavitch has its own unique niggunim, or traditional melodies. Chabad niggunim were either composed or taught by the Rebbe of Chabad or their Hassidim.[1] Niggunim are used to aid for meditation during Chasidic prayer or Torah study, as well as during farbrengens.[2] some of these ancient Chabad melodies have recently made their way into mainstream music.[3] They have also been a major influence on Matisyahu's music.[4]
