הַנָּהוּג אֵצֶל הַצֶּמַח צֶדֶק, כִּי בְּאֶחָד מִלֵּילֵי חֲנוּכָּה הָיוּ עוֹשִׂים כְּעֵין פאַרבְּרֵיינגעֶן עִם בְּנֵי הַבַּיִת, וְהָיוּ בָּאִים גַּם כַּלוֹתָיו, וְנִקְרָא לאַטקעֶס אָוועֶנט
On one of the evenings of Chanukah, the Tzemach Tzedek would customarily hold a kind of farbrengen with the members of his family, including his daughters-in-law. This gathering was known as a “latke evening.”
וְכֵן הָיָה אֵצֶל רַבֵּנוּ הַזָּקֵן וְאַדְמוּ"ר הָאֶמְצָעִי
The Alter Rebbe and the Mitteler Rebbe had done likewise.
בֵּין הַסִּפּוּרִים שֶׁהָיוּ הָרַבֵּיִים מְסַפְּרִים בִּסְעוּדָה זוֹ, הָיוּ סִפּוּרִים אֲשֶׁר בְּכָל חֲנוּכָּה הָיוּ מְשׂוֹחֲחִים אוֹדוֹתָם, אַף שֶׁכְּבָר דִּבְּרוּ מִזֶה בְּשָׁנָה הֶעָבְרָה
The stories and subjects that they passed on at this festive meal included some that they spoke of every Chanukah, even though they had spoken of them the previous year.
אַאַמוּ"ר הָיָה נוֹתֵן דְּמֵי חֲנוּכָּה בְּלֵיל נֵר הָרְבִיעִי אוֹ הַחֲמִישִׁי
My revered father, the Rebbe [Rashab], would distribute Chanukah gelt on the fourth or the fifth night of Chanukah.
