	Nigun - By Tzvi Freeman
		When we sing a nigun of a tzaddik, we connect with the innermost garments of the tzaddik's soul and from there come to union with the light that tzaddik has found.
		With a nigun, what is held imprisoned deep in the soul pours down into the mind and from the mind to the heart.
		That is why a nigun brings a surge of new life and healing, sweetens the bitter soul and fills a home with light -- as the songs sung by David for King Saul which healed his bitter spirit.

		And at this time, as the Nigun is fighting for a championship, their games are important even though those games are not played in big stadiums with big crowds.
		It was a tough decision as to whether to keep them playing where they are and being with the Nigun team that has a good fighting spirit or to bring them into a situation where the motivation is a little less than it should be by some of the surrounding players.
		I simply thought Nigun is where the players learn and develop their skills until they are ready to play at Ichigun level.

	The Magic of Nigun
		The Jews have long used the idea of a nigun, (which is literally translated as melody or tune).
		Instead of words, meaningless syllables, such as ay-ay-ay, ya-ba-bim, lai-lai-lai, are deliberately used in the nigun, and the result is often more powerful than if actual words had been spoken.
		The power of such a harmonious, yet wordless, atmosphere is illustrated in a story told by Rabbi Shlomo Riskin:
