One Dollar Bill received from the Holy Hands of the Lubavitcher Rebbe on the 6th day of Tishrei 5738 - This one-dollar bill was received directly from the holy hands of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, on the 6th of Tishrei, 5738 — September 18, 1977 on a Sunday of that year in the week of Parshat Vayelech. The 6th of Tishrei holds special significance in the Chabad calendar as it marks the Yahrzeit (anniversary of passing) of Rebbetzin Chana Schneerson, the revered mother of the Rebbe. This date is remembered with reflection and spiritual elevation in Chassidic circles, often accompanied by increased Torah learning and acts of kindness in her memory. On this Dollar the Chassid who received the Dollar Inscribed the date it was received: ”6th of Tishrei, 5738”. The tradition of the Rebbe's Sundays began in the 1980s when the Rebbe started giving out one-dollar bills to individuals who came to seek his blessings and advice. The Rebbe saw the dollar bill as a symbol of material prosperity, and by giving it away during these special Sundays, he intended to infuse it with spiritual energy. The recipients of these dollars were encouraged to donate them to charity, thereby transforming the physical currency into a vehicle for positive change and spiritual growth. It was customary for the Lubavitcher Rebbe to give out dollars to his Chassidim and many other men women and children who came to see him on different occasions. The Dollars were usually distributed in relation to Holidays and Significant Days of the Year, on Sundays, and in the Rebbes later years different variations of dollars were given out and included along with the special Kuntreisim that would be distributed in 770.
