Minhag Yisrael Torah Huh to give Chanukkah Gelt
In 1952, the Rebbe gave out Chanukkah Gelt to the Temimim of the 770 Beit Midrash. First, the Rebbe said a Sichah stating that Rabboteinu Nesi’einu’s intention was that the students of Tomchei Temimim be illuminating candles and on the nights of Chanukkah one should be Mosif Veholech in this regard. At the end of his Sichah, the Rebbe tearfully said: "Today is Chanukkah. Minhag Yisrael Torah Huh to give Chanukkah Gelt. I will give you Chanukkah Gelt from the Kupah of the Admor who said… that even the smallest coin if given by an Ish Tam Veyashar Yere Elokim and Sar Mera – its recipient will be blessed and succeed – not only materially but also spiritually".
