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 increase in spiritual light, adding an additional candle in the menorah, and inspiring their neighbors to join in illuminating the world.
