'Chomas Anash' was a fundraising project that operated in 5753 (1993) with the goal of expanding 770, in accordance with the Rebbe's instruction in Kuntres Beis Rabbeinu SheBeBavel. As part of this initiative, each Anash family was asked to donate an equal amount of 770 dollars, with their names to be engraved on a special wall in the renovated building. The project was halted on Gimmel Tammuz 5754 (1994).

On 20 Cheshvan 1992, the Rebbe published a kuntres titled "Beis Rabbeinu SheBebavel." In this special kuntres, the elevated status of 770 is extensively explained as being "Beis Rabbeinu SheBebavel" - the place of the Nasi HaDor, where the Shechinah resides during galus. Additionally, in the kuntres, the Rebbe reveals that the Beis HaMikdash will first descend from heaven at 770 and only afterward will travel with it to Jerusalem, the holy city.
