The 1991 "Chanukah Live" international satellite hookup, that united Chanukah celebrations held in New York, Paris, Moscow, Melbourne, Hong Kong and Jerusalem.

An address at the Chanukah Live worldwide satellite hookup at 770: "Everything G-d created, He created for His glory." The ultimate purpose of science is to discover new ways to facilitate and increase our ability to serve G-d. This we see clearly here at this gathering: Jews in every corner of the globe were able to tune in, via satellite, and to watch as one little child kindled the Chanukah flames. Thus we see an illustration of the fact that one Mitzvah instantly brings light to the entire world.

Scenes from a “Chanukah Live” celebration which was telecast simultaneously all over the world.

Chanukah reminds every Jew that it is G-d’s eternal mandate to carry the torch of His “Mitzvah-candle and Torah-light.” With most Mitzvos, the “candle” and “light” are not physically visible. But with the Chanukah candles we see how fulfilling the Mitzvah creates actual physical light that illuminates all one’s surroundings.

At the end of the Chanukah Live children’s rally in 1990, the Rebbe gives coins to be handed out to the children, and personally hands coins to the phographers of the event.

On Chanukah, Jewish children receive Chanukah Gelt. The charity given by children has special significance because they don’t make money of their own; they are limited to what their parents give them. Nevertheless, Jewish children eagerly open their pockets to those in need, and increase the amount they give, every single day.

At the conclusion of the international Chanukah Live event, the Rebbe gives coins for charity to the photographers, including those photographers in the women’s section.

The first internationally televised Chanukah rally.

There is a special lesson when both the first and last days of Chanukah fall out on Shabbos. It teaches us that every aspect of a Jew’s life must be completely permeated and saturated with “the Shabbos spirit,” with extra holiness and transcendence over the mundane.
