	~~'''The "Home Full of Books" Campaign''' ("Yevneh V'Chachamehah")~~ is one of the ten campaigns initiated by the ~~Lubavitcher~~ Rebbe~~. The campaign was~~ announced in 1974 ~~(5734)~~, ~~with~~ the ~~goal of encouraging every Jewish~~ home ~~to be filled~~ with holy books.		This campaign is one of the ten Mivtzoim (campaigns) initiated by the Rebbe, which he announced in 1974.

			As part of this campaign, the Rebbe emphasized that everyone should fill their home with holy books.

	== Source ==		== Source ==
	The concept of a ~~"home~~ full of books" ~~originates~~ in ~~the Midrash, which discusses the claim of~~ Korach against ~~Moses, where it is stated that~~ a house full of ~~books requires~~ a mezuzah. The Rebbe used this ~~concept to announce the~~ "~~Home Full of Books Campaign~~," ~~aiming~~ to transform every Jewish home into a ~~sanctuary~~ by ensuring ~~that~~ it contains, first and foremost, the foundational books of ~~Judaism~~, ~~along with~~ as many ~~other~~ holy books as possible. This campaign is unique among the ten, as it is not a ~~commandment~~ and ~~does not have a direct scriptural~~ source.		The concept of "a house full of books" first appears in Midrashim relating to Korach's arguments against Moshe Rabbeinu: "Does a house full of seforim require a mezuzah?" The Rebbe used this terminology when announcing "Mivtza Bayis Malei Seforim," which aims to transform every Jewish home into a Beis Hamikdash by ensuring it contains, first and foremost, the foundational books of Yiddishkeit, plus as many holy books as possible. This campaign is unique among the ten Mivtzoim as it is not a mitzvah and has no ancient source.

	== Campaign History ==		== Campaign History ==
	During ~~a gathering on Shabbat, Parshat~~ Nasso in 1974, the Rebbe ~~introduced this~~ special campaign~~, an extension of the~~ "Torah ~~Campaign~~," ~~emphasizing~~ that ~~every Jewish~~ home ~~should be filled~~ with holy books and be ~~active~~ in Torah ~~study~~.		During the Shabbos Parshas Nasso 1974 farbrengen, the Rebbe announced a special campaign connected to expanding "Mivtza Torah" that he had established then - "Mivtza Bayis Malei Seforim - Yavneh V'Chachomeha," meaning that everyone should strive to fill their home with holy books and increase their Torah study sessions.

			The Rebbe explained that the word "full" should be taken literally - placing seforim on all permissible walls in the house, avoiding only bathrooms and married couples' bedrooms.

			The Rebbe emphasized that the purpose of buying seforim is to actually use and learn from them, not to leave them closed in cabinets just to look at through glass.

			This directive was in addition to the Previous Rebbe's instruction regarding the three seforim Kesser Shem Tov, Ohr Torah, and Tanya: "It is necessary and proper for Chassidim to have these three seforim, and for known reasons, not to bind them in one volume."

	~~The~~ Rebbe ~~clarified that the term~~ "~~full~~" ~~refers~~ to ~~filling~~ the ~~walls~~ of ~~the house with~~ books ~~wherever possible~~, ~~but books should not be placed in bathrooms or in marital bedrooms~~.		Following the victory in the seforim court case, the Rebbe published "Derech Emunah" by Rabbi Meir ibn Gabbai and ordered it to be sold at an affordable price, and also taught from it during farbrengens. A year later, the Rebbe called to utilize this auspicious day for increased learning, particularly Shulchan Aruch, which was then 500 years since its printing. He also instructed to increase the acquisition of many holy books, both for "Bayis Malei Seforim" and public libraries, for young children, and of course for the central library of Agudas Chassidei Chabad.

	~~The~~ Rebbe ~~emphasized~~ that the ~~purpose of acquiring these~~ books ~~is not just to collect them but to actively use~~ and ~~learn from them~~, ~~not~~ to ~~store them away~~ in ~~a closed cabinet or behind glass~~.		In 1992, the Rebbe added that everyone could contribute to redeeming the seforim that remained in captivity in Russia "by having every person - men, women, and children - do something similar by bringing new holy books and writings into their homes or libraries, adding to the books they already have in their 'Bayis Malei Seforim.'"

	~~Additionally~~, ~~this directive aligns with~~ the ~~teaching of the Previous~~ Rebbe ~~(the Rebbe’s father-in-law) regarding three~~ essential ~~books~~: ~~''Kesser Shem Tov'', ''Ohr Torah'', and ''Tanya''. The Previous Rebbe stressed that these books should not be bound together in one volume.~~		== Foundation Seforim ==
			Over the years, the Rebbe emphasized certain holy books as essential for every Jewish home:

	~~After the victory in the "~~books trial" (related to the distribution of Chabad books in the Soviet Union), the Rebbe published the book ''Derech Emunah'' by Rabbi Meir ben Gabai and instructed it to be sold at an affordable price for all. The Rebbe also taught from it during public gatherings. A year later, the Rebbe urged the community to utilize this auspicious time to increase Torah study, particularly in the ''Shulchan Aruch'', as it marked the 500th anniversary of its printing.		# Tehillim
			# Siddur
			# Halacha books
			# Tanya

	~~Furthermore~~, the Rebbe ~~instructed that people should acquire more holy books for their homes, public libraries, and especially for children. He~~ also ~~encouraged donations to the central library of Chabad Chassidim~~.		In one particular sicha, the Rebbe also mentioned Mishnayos or Gemara.

	In 1992, the Rebbe expanded on this idea, urging that every Jew contribute to the redemption of the holy books still held in captivity in Russia by acquiring new holy books for their homes or libraries, adding to those they already possess.		== See Also ==
