Generally speaking, Jew- ish prayer, as well as scrip- ture reading and study, re- quires melody. Some have claimed that music is the soul of human experience. -Often the Hasidic melod- ies are chanted without even having words. Often these melodies are adapted to a variety of texts. Since the basic aim of Hasidism is "D'vekut," which means devotion in the form of "clinging" and attaching one's self to the divine, a deep sense of mystique which cannot be adequately expressed in words moves the Hasid. Since this experience rises above the level of the ra- tional it can only be ex- pressed in music which gives vent to the mystical and the ecstatic. DANCERCISE KNOWS THIN IS IN!
