- In 1942, Rabbi Azriel David Fastag, a cantor composer from the Modzitz sect, was on a train with thousands of Jewish brethren headed to the Treblinka death camp.
- Rabbi Fastag sensed his impending end and began humming a quiet tune based on a Principle of Faith.
- He asked that the tune be passed to the Modzitz Rebbe in the US, promising half his portion in the World to Come to whoever succeeded.
- The tune's words were, "I believe with full faith in the coming of Moshiach ".
- Two Jews jumped from the train, one was killed, but the second taught the tune to the Rebbe who then spread it widely as a symbol of hope.
