A Special Day

After the geula of the Alter Rebbe, the chassidim wanted to write a Megillas Yud-Tes Kislev to be read each year, so they prepared a draft to present to him. The matter was kept a secret until they traveled to Liozna, where they asked for his consent for their project. The Alter Rebbe did not grant it, but told them, "This day will be established as a Yom-Tov amongst Yidden, in which HaShem's Name will be glorified and thousands of Yidden will be aroused to teshuva and avoda. This episode is engraved in the 'heart of Yisroel' above and is written in the heart of every Yid below."
