Torah
A thought for every day of the Hebrew year, from the Rebbe’s book. It is the same entry every year, on the same Hebrew date.
28 Kislev 5787
It was customary for the Tzemach Tzedek to have a sort of farbrengen on one of the evenings of Chanuka with his family, including his daughters-in-law. This was called "latkes evening." This was also the practice of the Alter Rebbe and the Mitteler Rebbe. Among the stories the Rebbes told at this meal were some which were widely talked about every Chanuka, though they had been discussed the year before.
My father would give Chanuka-gelt on the evening of the fourth or fifth light.
Compiled and arranged by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory, in 5703 (1943) from the talks and letters of the sixth Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, of righteous memory.
הנהוג אצל הצ"צ [הצמח צדק], כי באחד מלילי חנוכה היו עושים כעין פארבריינגען עם בני הבית, והיו באים גם כלותיו, ונקרא "לאטקעס אווענט". וכן היה אצל רבינו הזקן ואדמו"ר [ואדננו מורנו ורבנו] האמצעי. בין הספורים שהיו הרביים מספרים בסעודה זו, היו ספורים אשר בכל חנוכה היו משוחחים אודותם, אף שכבר דברו מזה בשנה העברה. אאמו"ר [אדוני אבי מורי ורבי] היה נותן דמי חנוכה בליל נר הרביעי או החמישי.
