Written on verso of the title page is the date the Kuntres was given by the Rebbe and the recipient's name. At the beginning of Tishrei 1989, the Rebbe ordered the first publication of a special edition with a festive (red) binding of the Mamar Ushe'avtem Mayim Besasson by the Admor Tzemach Tzeddek. On the night of the 6th of Tishrei, after Maariv, the Rebbe gave out to those davening a wax-brown envelope with the Mamar, a piece of Leikach, a general letter from him and a $1 bill for charity. Approx. ten thousand people attended this Chalukah. After Maariv the Admor went to his special stender and gave a Sicha, longer than usual (around 30 minutes), dedicated to his mother, the Rebbetzin Chana Schneerson, to mark her 25th Yahrzeit. At the end of the Sicha he came down from the Bimah and started the special Chalukah: each person received a a wax-brown envelope with the Mamar, a piece of Leikach, a general letter from him and a $1 bill for charity. For hours the Admor stood, after having spent an entire day at the Ohel, giving the envelope to each and every person (man, woman, and child), blessing each of them (who had come from near and far) with ”(האב) א זיסע יאר” (for a good and sweet year). At the end of the Chalukah, the Admor left with a special look in his eye, and with his hand, encouraged the Kahal to sing strongly (from Mazkeret Netzach Chalukot Chabad)
