Editing Yechi Adoneinu Moreinu V'Rabbeinu Melech HaMoshiach L'olam Va'ed (section)

==== 5753 (1993) ====
After 27 Adar I 5752 (1992), during the period when "He has borne our illnesses and carried our pains," the community of Chassidim in 770 began to proclaim "Yechi" at prayer gatherings for the Rebbe's recovery, at events, farbrengens, etc. A central "Yechi" dance was also established after singing Lecha Dodi in the main minyan at 770. On 11 Nissan 5752 (1992), a gathering for Tzivos Hashem children was organized outside 770, centered around the children's declaration of "Yechi HaMelech."

After the shofar blowing on the first day of Rosh Hashanah 5753 (1992), they sang only the melody without the words (since it was after the shofar blowing, and one should not interrupt from the beginning of the shofar blowing until the end of the prayer). On the second day, when they sang after the shofar blowing, they received special encouragement from the Rebbe. Throughout the month of Tishrei 5753 (1992), the "Yechi" was sung in the Rebbe's presence several times and the Rebbe encouraged the crowd. On Simchat Torah 5753 (1992), during the Hakafot when the children proclaimed it before the Rebbe, the Rebbe suddenly began to encourage it in a special and vigorous manner, and the declaration turned into a song that continued to receive special encouragement from the Rebbe. Since then, the singing of "Yechi" became a regular practice at the end of every prayer when the Rebbe came out to the congregation, with the Rebbe encouraging the singing almost every time with movements of his holy head and body, and several times even with his left hand. The special effort involved in this encouragement was often apparent.

Towards 10 Shevat 5753 (1993), a satellite event was planned in which Chabad Chassidim from around the world would accept the Rebbe's kingship as King Moshiach with a declaration of "Yechi" in a live broadcast. In preparation for this event, Anash throughout the world prepared with tremendous excitement, and some even called it "the coronation." However, there were those who were concerned that the Rebbe would encourage the singing of "Yechi Adoneinu" before the eyes of the entire world, and they asked the Rebbe if this was indeed his holy wish, and he confirmed it. Even when they asked if it might cause damage to Chabad, the Rebbe dismissed this concern. Indeed, at this event, the Rebbe encouraged the declaration and singing of "Yechi Adoneinu Moreinu V'Rabbeinu Melech HaMoshiach L'olam Va'ed" (Long live our master, our teacher, and our Rebbe, King Moshiach, forever and ever), and since then this has become a fixed custom among Chabad Chassidim worldwide that after every prayer they declare three times "'''Yechi Adoneinu Moreinu V'Rabbeinu Melech HaMoshiach L'olam Va'ed'''" (as well as after the Torah reading, and before the shofar blowing on Rosh Hashanah). On 6 Tammuz 5754 (1994), a gathering of the Beit Din of Chabad rabbis in the Holy Land and additional Chabad rabbis took place, in which they ruled that this declaration should continue, and that it should continue to be written on the cover page of the Kfar Chabad magazine.

In total over the years, the Rebbe encouraged the singing of 'Yechi Adoneinu' on more than 450 occasions, 417 of which are documented in video recordings, and in fact this is the song that the Rebbe encouraged the most times throughout the years of his leadership.
