== Candlesticks ==
Rav Yaakov Landau testified that the minhag of Chabad chassidim was not to use square-based candlesticks but specifically round-based ones, since the square-based ones originated in Christian churches. In practice, we don't see that Anash are particular about this.

At the beginning of the campaign, the activists dealt with the need to remind girls weekly to light the candles before Shabbos. As a solution, they proposed distributing simple candlesticks to every woman who commits to lighting Shabbos candles, so the candlestick itself would serve as a reminder. For this purpose, the campaign managers submitted five different candlestick samples to the Rebbe, and the Rebbe instructed to combine several of them.

Before the farbrengen marking 12 Tammuz 5735, less than a year after the Rebbe announced the campaign, the Rebbe requested a sample candlestick be brought to the farbrengen. The chassidim arranged to bring one of the gold-plated candlesticks, which was engraved with a special dedication along with its campaign number - 245,001.
