Footnotes
אין הש"ץ מתעטף בטלית למנחה או למעריב, לא בשויו"ט ולא בר"ה.
הילולא של הרב המגיד - ממעזריטש - ג' וישב תקל"ג, ומ"כ באנאפאלי.
אדמו"ר הזקן יצא לחירות ממאסרו הראשון - יט כסלו, ג' וישב, תקנ"ט, לפנות ערב.
ממכתב רבינו הזקן: ברם כגון דא צריך להודיע, כי יום אשר עשה ד' לנו יום יט כסלו, יום ג' שהוכפל בו כי טוב, יום הילולא רבא של רבינו הקדוש נ"ע, וכשקריתי בס' תהלים בפסוק פדה בשלום נפשי, קודם שהתחלתי פסוק שלאחריו, יצאתי בשלום מד' שלום.
***
יום התועדות וקבלת החלטות טובות בקביעות עתים לתורה הנגלית ודא"ח ברבים, וחיזוק דרכי החסידים באהבת רעים.
נוהגים לסדר חלוקת הש"ס, וע"פ הסדר המבואר באגה"ק ד"ה הוכיח תוכיח, בליובאוויטש משנת תרס"ג ואילך הי' מסדרים חלוקת הש"ס כ"ד בטבת - יום הלולא של רבינו הזקן - מפני אפס הפנאי ביט כסלו.
