Editing Mivtza Chanukah (section)

==== Momentum for the Campaign ====
In 5734 (1973), the Rebbe launched a special momentum for Mivtza Chanukah. On Shabbat Parshat Vayeshev, he encouraged increased efforts to ensure that every Jewish home would light Chanukah candles. That year, the Rebbe distributed Chanukah gelt only to those who participated in Mivtza Chanukah and presented confirmation from Tzeirei Agudas Chabad. During that Chanukah farbrengen, he instructed those who participated in Mivtza Chanukah to say l'chaim. The Rebbe also sent Chanukah gelt to the Holy Land for those involved in Mivtza Chanukah.

That same year, he instructed as a temporary directive that girls should also light Chanukah candles.
