The musician Yanki Daskal, who serves as Vizhnitz's court soloist, presents a new and moving song - "Nefshi Nafshi", which he composed on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the passing of the author of 'Yeshuot Moshe' from Vizhnitz, whose words of the song - the words of rebuke of the author of 'Hobot Elevavot' - were common in his mouth and he stuck to this 'rebuke' all his days.

His son, the Rebbe of Moishnit, often says: "I remember when I was little how the holy Amor would walk around the room in the house early in the morning, and memorize for himself the 'rebuke' from 'Duties of the Hearts': 'My soul, my soul, prepare a feast for many, do not belittle it, while you are alive, and God has something in your hand... and know that yesterday will never return'... The Amor would say it with a stirring and captivating melody.".

Under the influence of the Rebbe's words, the melody "Nefshi Kini Sada Rabu" was composed for the Rebbe's first day of Hilula - 20th Adar 5773. The melody expresses his guidance and legacy, and was received with affection and sung with excitement among crowds of people and those seeking chassidism and morality.
