During Hakafos on Simchas Torah 5659, the founder of the yeshiva, [[~~Rabbi Sholom DovBer Schneerson - The Rebbe Rashab|~~the Rebbe Rashab,]] announced that the yeshiva he had established two years prior would be called Tomchei Tmimim, and that "the students who learn there and conduct themselves in its spirit would be called Tmimim," inspired by the verse "Tomchei Tmimim Hoshia Na" which is recited during Hakafos.

On the first Erev Yom Kippur after accepting the nesius, the Rebbe called a group of yeshiva students at 770, and when they entered his room, he covered himself with his tallis and said in a voice choked with tears: "Since you learn in the Rebbe's yeshiva, you are the Rebbe's children ('zeit ir dem Rebben's kinder')... therefore I must bless you on Erev Yom Kippur with 'Birkas Habonim,'" and blessed them with Birkas Kohanim and a blessing for a successful year in everything.

Since then, every year bochurim would gather on Erev Yom Kippur to receive the Rebbe's blessing as 'his children,' an event known as "Birkas Habonim."

Based on the Rebbe's initiative (which he presented to the Frierdiker Rebbe, who had requested to prepare a list of Tmimim students throughout the generations before his histalkus), a book was compiled containing a list of all Tmimim who studied in the yeshiva from its founding until the time of the book's printing.
