Tish Lel Shevii in Modzitz, attracts hundreds of residents of the city – besides for the Chassidim of the Rebbe.
Tish melodies sung during Pesach in Modzitz, when the center is the known tune sung at the Tish Oferes Hayom by Rabbi Yaakov Hershler. This is a melody composed by the Rebbe the Imrei Shaul of Modzitz zt"l and it lasts about 20 minutes.
At midnight, the chassidim and participants get up to their feet and say, 'Song of the Sea' and at the end of the Tish was conducted the traditional dance melody Hamavi Banav Bein Gizrei Yam Suf, while the Rebbe dances in the Beit Midrash in a big circle. Even after the departure of the Rebbe audience continues to dance for a long time.
This year there was a surprise: dance after the end of the Tish lasted for more than half an hour, and then, when a large part of the audience was already heading home, the Rebbe suddenly came back, stood at his set place of prayer and encouraged the singing. A few minutes later he returned to his place, and of course, a few minutes later the benches were filled again with chassidim, some of whom were already on their way home and when they heard the Rebbe returned, they came back.
Rebbe launched a new melody composed in honor of the holiday, and he taught it to the public. Following poets of the Tune several times, the Rebbe wished a gutten Yom Tov, and turned towards his home, when the chassidim continued to dance with the new Tune.
