Two Early One Dollar Bills Received from the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Erev Rosh Hashana, 5736 - The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, led the Chabad-Lubavitch movement from 1951. He is known for his profound wisdom, compassionate leadership, and unwavering dedication to the Jewish people. One of the many ways he sought to uplift and inspire was through the distribution of dollar bills. It was customary for the Lubavitcher Rebbe to give out dollars to his Chassidim and many other men women and children who came to see him on different occasions. The Dollars were usually distributed in relation to Holidays and Significant Days of the Year, on Sundays, and in the Rebbes later years different variations of dollars were given out and included along with the special Kuntreisim that would be distributed in 770. Erev Rosh Hashanah was a day that one spent hours in 770 and going to the Ohel. At the conclusion of shacharis the Rebbe would recite Hataras Nedarim, then he would receive panim, and at the conclusion of all this he would go to the Ohel. When Erev Rosh Hashanah was on a Sunday, in addition to all of the regular activities, the Rebbe distributed dollars as well. On such a time these two dollars were distributed by the Rebbe and received by the Chasidim.
