Tevet 5 is celebrated as a day of rejoicing in the Chabad-Lubavitch community.
On this date in 1987, U.S. Federal Court issued a decision in favor of Agudas Chassidei Chabad regarding the ownership of the priceless library of the 6th Rebbe of Chabad-Lubavitch, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn.
The ruling was based on the idea that a Rebbe is not a private individual but a communal figure synonymous with the body of Chassidim.
The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yoseph Yitzchak’s son-in-law and successor, urged that the occasion be marked with time devoted to study from Torah books as well as the acquisition of new Torah books.
Farbrengens will be held in Lubavitch communities and Chabad Houses around the world.
A central one is held by Agudas Chassidei Chabad Tuesday, December 22, 9PM at Campus Chomesh, 470 Lefferts Avenue in Crown Heights.
