The Baal Shem Tov, or Besht —  the founder of Chasidism — 
met the soul of the Messiah during an ascent to heaven. 
The Besht asked him, "When will the Master come?" 
The Messiah answered, "When your wellsprings break forth to the outside!" 
(from a letter written by the Besht to his brother-in-law about one of his soul ascents)

B'seis Yisroel

A nigun for B'tseit Yisrael, "When Israel went out of Egypt...", the second Psalm of Hallel. On Pesach we say Hallel both evening and morning. I recorded this version from Yitzchak Schonfeld during our recent Borough Park field trip, where I collected "V'hi She'amdah".

Note: NeoHasid is experimenting with adding commments to some of our pages. Our primary purpose is to allow signups on the StoptheFlood! page. However (due to our still-limited html literacy), comment submission forms will temporarily appear on all entry pages. For the time being, feel free to add your shnei p'rutim to any page, and we will try to incorporate it. Thanks for your patience as we figure this out!
