Rebbetzin Chaya Mushkah was born on Shabbos, the 25th of Adar, in Babinovich, a town near the Russian city of Lubavitch, in the year 5661 (1901). In an address delivered on the 25 of Adar of 5748 (1988) (the Rebbetzin's 87th birthday, and about a month after her passing), the Rebbe initiated an international birthday campaign, urging people to celebrate their birthdays and utilize the day as a time of introspection and making resolutions involving an increase in good deeds: "A suggestion: "It would be the greatest Zechus for the Neshama [of the Rebbetzin]; in connection with her Neshama and its elevation, we should institute that all Yidden begin celebrating their birthdays..." (25 Adar 5748). In honor of the special day of Chof Hei Adar, we present the following resources. We hope that this will help you and your family, school, and community prepare for and celebrate Chof Hei Adar in the best way possible. We aim to continue to improve this site.

Following the Histalkus of the Rebbetzin on Chof-Beis Shevat 5748, the Rebbe Davened during the week in his home on President Street throughout the Shnas Ha'Aveilus. On Chof-Hei Adar, the Rebbetzin's 87th birthday, several minutes after the conclusion of Shacharis, the Rebbe suddenly descended from the second floor and approached his Shtender to say a Sicha. This came as an absolute surprise to everyone present. Continuing the theme of  "V'Hachai Yitein El Libo" that the Rebbe had emphasized since the Histalkus, the Rebbe suggested that in connection with the Rebbetzin's birthday it was appropriate to focus on the Minhagim of Yom Huledes and to share them with Klal Yisrael. The Rebbe added that doing so "will be the greatest Zechus for the Neshama (of the Rebbetzin)."

Thus Mivtza Yom Huledes was born. Acharon Shel Pesach 5748  | Minhogei Yom Huledes | A Chassidisher Derher
