For Chassidim in Dor Hashvi’i, Rosh Chodesh Kislev is one of the most joyous days on the calendar. The distress of Shemini Atzeres 5738, and the double-fold simcha of Rosh Chodesh Kislev, are memories that are etched into the hearts of every Chossid that experienced them. This day has since been established as a full-fledged Yom Tov, replete with a seudas hoda’a and farbrengens late into the night.

The full sequence of events would be able to fill an entire book; here we have chosen to focus primarily on the events of Simchas Torah, Rosh Chodesh Kislev, Yud-Tes Kislev, and Zos Chanukah.
