In a letter to [[Rabbi Menachem Zev Greenglass|Rav Menachem Zev Greenglass]] regarding the notification of a celebration of rabbinical ordination in [[Montreal]], the Rebbe wrote: "It is understood that if I had even suspected they would play the known tune - I would not have sent a letter to the celebration... and such craftiness from the yetzer hara - I did not even imagine."

According to tradition, once the anthem was sung at an event attended by the Rebbe and R' Pinchas Althaus in 5710 (1950). Pinye Althaus stood while the Rebbe remained seated. Pinye remarked to the Rebbe, "A little ahavas Tzion won't hurt the Rebbe..." The Rebbe responded: "And ahavas Yerushalayim won't hurt you" and continued saying: "And if you want to see the difference between Tzion and Yerushalayim, see the maamar in Likkutei Torah - Tzion Bemishpat Tipadeh."

On the 12th of Teves 5717 (1957), during the annual dinner of [[Central Tomchei Tmimim - 770|Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim 770]], "HaTikvah" was sung. When the Rebbe learned of this, he reacted strongly and expressed that had he known about it, he would not have sent a letter to the event, as doing so indicated his participation. Subsequently, a notice was published in the press from the Rebbe's secretariat stating that the Rebbe was not connected to what occurred at the event since the yeshiva was managed by an administration independent of him. Additionally, the Rebbe instructed to remove his name from the yeshiva's letterhead, thereby expressing the withdrawal of his nesius from the yeshiva.
