MARCHA DE NAPOLEON

Esta marcha se destaca por su carácter rítmico y alegre.

Esta marcha se destaca por su carácter rítmico y alegre. Fue interpretada en 1812 por los ejércitos de Napoleón cuando cruzaron la frontera cercana a Prusia en su invasión de Rusia. El Alter Rebe abandonó su ciudad natal, Liadi, cuando el ejército enemigo se aproximaba. Pidió que le cantaran la marcha y, tras un momento de contemplación, designó la marcha como una canción de victoria.

Es tradicional que los Lubavitcher Jasidim canten la Marcha de Napoleón al final del servicio de Nehilá en Iom Kipur, antes de hacer sonar el Shofar.

El entonar esta melodía simboliza la victoria del pueblo judío sobre el "Satán" y que sus plegarias han sido aceptadas y que tienen asegurado un feliz Año Nuevo.

Enseñada en tiempos del

Alter Rebe

What was played by Jews at Yom Kippur before the time of Napoleon's March? I am a Christian and am also very interested in Jewish customs.
Jews predate the time of Napoleon's March.

in response to Mary B. Goouch:

First of all we must realize that on Yom Kippur we don’t “play” the March rather we sing it.
We must also understand that this is a Chabad custom, Chabad was founded by the Alter Rebbe, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, who lived in Napoleon's time.
In answer to the question, there may have not even been anything sung before this, it completely depends on the custom of the time and place. In fact while the Beis Hamikdash (Holy Temple) stood there were no full day prayers like today. Originally the kohen gadol (high priest) would have a busy day offering sacrifices, many of the prayers these days speak of the many things he would do. Reply

napoleon's march I recently saw a documentary (on Dutch television) that this march was adopted as a nign, not to honour Napoleon, as most Hasidic leaders were againt him, fearing assimilation if he should win. However, they heard the victory sounding through the music. By adopting this march they brought Victory to their side (it seems to have worked!), and therefore it's also a suitable nign to be sung on Jom Kippur. Reply

Napoleon's March I was amazed and pleased when I heard about this connection between Napoleon and Yom Kippur.
Contrary to the usual comparison of Napoleon with the leader of the 3rd Reich, Bonaparte elevated French Jews to a status of legal equality with gentiles. One that was hypocritically lacking under the previous regime during the 1st Republic ("Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite").
Besides, I've been fascinated by Napoleon since I was a little boy. Reply

Alan Personally, I do not know why you find anything so distasteful with the "world of Ashkanazim." On the contrary, I would never select a song based on the fact that it was sung for the European nations, the very people who either participated in or allowed the destruction of that very "world of Ashkenazim."

Napoleon's March I do not care for this march to signify the end of Yom Kippur. The march represents the old vulnerable world of the Ashkenazim. The Rebbe knew this and becaome one of the only hasssidic rebbe to lead his followers to Eretz Yisrael. A better joyful singing expression to the end of the hoiy day wold be the Israeli song Halleluyah that won the Eurovision contest. Reply

Rectification Just to say that the native town of the Alter Rebbe a'h is Liozhna and not Liadi. (excuse my english , I'm french), as we can see in sefer hatoldoth, he used to be known as "der liozhner rebbe". Anyway a magnificent march. Reply
