Editing Rabbi Shmuel Menachem Mendel Butman (section)

== Director of Tzach New York ==
His prominent role was as director of the Central Tzeirei Agudas Chabad ("Tzach"), which was Chabad's outreach arm in the New York area.

Working together with Rabbi Dovid Raskin, Tzach supervised Chabad centers in the area, coordinated the Rebbe's holy mivtzoim activities, organized the mitzvah tank parades, and participated in many other activities.

One of his notable achievements was creating the world's largest menorah, designed by renowned artist Yaacov Agam. The menorah stands prominently on Fifth Avenue in New York, bringing Chanukah and Jewish light to millions of Jews.

In his role, he organized central menorah lightings throughout New York City, the most famous being the lighting of the world's largest menorah, attended by public officials and senators. He also organized the international sukkah in Manhattan. Rabbi Butman maintained close connections with members of the Jewish Federation, United Jewish Appeal, Israeli Consulate, and other Jewish organizations in the United States.

Each year, he organized a farbrengen with the Governor of New York on 11 Nissan, during which education days were established at the opening of the Assembly session according to the Rebbe's years.
