by Ron Isaacs (Author)
In the peaceful woods of Camp Ramah in Canada in 1967, on the eve of the Jewish Sabbath at an outdoor prayer service, the Camp Director shared a folktale called The Chemodan. The Hanukkah story was based on events from the 18th Century in Podolia, Eastern Europe. Not only did the tale have a surprise ending, but it incorporated a beautiful niggun, which everyone was encouraged to sing along.
Niggunim are wordless songs, part of Hasidic Jewish tradition sung to elevate the soul to God. They are meant to be mystical prayers and sacred practices that can help deepen the soul and spirit. As the camp director's voice carried through the trees, campers and staff found themselves drawn into the story's charm. Together they sang the niggun woven throughout the tale. The melody was so captivating that the next day, the song echoed throughout the camp, sung by campers and staff alike. The experience was so powerful that author Ron Isaacs has never forgotten it. The Chemodan has been a cherished story passed down through the years to Rabbi Isaacs's students and the families in his congregation. For the first time, this Jewish folktale is being shared in print so children and families everywhere can experience the tradition. With a melody that lingers long after the final page, Rabbi Isaacs invites you to experience the magic of niggun.
