On the day of the bar mitzvah itself — Thursday, 9 Kislev 5547 (November 20, 1786) — candles were lit throughout the courtyard of the synagogue, and the space was especially expanded for the many guests. During the Torah reading, the bar mitzvah boy did not receive an aliyah — but his father was called up third, and afterward recited the traditional blessing that a father recites at his son's bar mitzvah. After the morning prayers, the Alter Rebbe delivered a Chassidic discourse on the verse "Ki lekach tov" — "For I have given you a good teaching," and then the bar mitzvah boy delivered his own Torah talk on the verse "Maggid devarav l'Yaakov" — "He declares His word to Jacob." The Alter Rebbe was in a state of profound spiritual elevation and began to sing the melody known as the [[Arba Bavos]] — "Four Gates." The great chassidim who were present related that during the melody, they recalled everything they had experienced from the day they became conscious of themselves.
