Reply To: What is the inyan of a mitzva tanz?

So right, Helpful, Myfriend , drei nit kein kopp! The Rebbes of old would take songs from non-Jewish shepherds and say that it has a holy mekor. It very well might have happened that the minhag came from the non-Jews, but the Rebbes sanctioned it as holy. I am not saying they were wrong (I do not know enough about these things). I am sure, though, it is all shoking to you.
