== In The Rebbe's Presence ==
Throughout the years when Tu B'Shvat fell on Shabbos, the Rebbe held farbrengens in honor of the date in the following years: 1956, 1960, 1962, 1963, 1966, 1976, 1980, 1983, 1986, 1987, 1989, 1990.

The first time a farbrengen was held on Tu B'Shvat during weekdays was in 1971 (between Mincha and Maariv) and the heavenly matters discussed then became well-known.

Subsequently, farbrengens were held on the following occasions: Motzei Tu B'Shvat 1972; Motzei Tu B'Shvat 1974; Motzei Tu B'Shvat 1975; Motzei Tu B'Shvat 1977; Motzei Tu B'Shvat 1978; night of Tu B'Shvat 1979; night of Tu B'Shvat 1981; night of Tu B'Shvat 1982; night of Tu B'Shvat 1984; night of Tu B'Shvat 1985; night of Tu B'Shvat 1988 (and in subsequent years when weekday farbrengens were no longer held, the Rebbe gave sichos on: Sunday 16 Shvat 1989; Sunday 14 Shvat 1992 before dollars distribution; night of Tu B'Shvat 1992 (in the small zal); Motzei Tu B'Shvat 1992).

In honor of Tu B'Shvat, the Rebbe published edited maamarim: D"H Arba'ah Roshei Shanim of Tu B'Shvat 1971 - Kuntres Chamisha Asar B'Shvat 1991; D"H BaChodesh HaShlishi of Tu B'Shvat 1974 (published in Kuntres 22 Shvat 1990); D"H Hineni Mamtir of Tu B'Shvat 1977 (published at the time); D"H Basi LeGani of Tu B'Shvat 1978 (published in Kuntres 22 Shvat 1989).

Additionally, in 1974 the Rebbe visited "Machon Chana" after the farbrengen; and on Tu B'Shvat 1991, the Rebbe distributed a five-dollar bill to each person who passed before him after the sicha.
