Reb Noam Elimelech....

Right after Madjanek, we visited the kever of Reb Noam Elimelech. He was a mystic and chassidim from all over the world come to sing and dance by his grave.  He believed that God could be served in more ways than praying in a synagogue.  He also believed that there were many different ways to pray and they need not always be via a siddur.  He created the idea of niggunim, songs written to serve as a gateway for prayer along with dancing and the idea of being joyous in the name of Hashem.  After being in Madjanek, it was a bit of a relief to sing and dance and pray and find that small ray of light after the darkness of Madjanek.....
