At around 9:10, the Rebbe shlit"a entered the hechal of the Great Beis Medrash in Kiryas Joel for the lighting of the Chanukah candles, amid a large crowd, with the splendor of a king. The Rebbe poured in the oil and recited the blessings with holy fervor.
Afterwards the Rebbe recited the zemiros, and inspiring nigunim were sung, and the choir sang the piyutim as customary.

Afterwards the Rebbe shlit"a delivered a Torah discourse of drush and pilpul on the sugya in Maseches Shabbos of "kivsa zokuk lah," and then continued with words of aggadah and mussar, and concluded with his holy blessings.

After the discourse the singing of nigunim continued; the Rebbe drank a lechayim and bestowed his holy blessings. It concluded at around 10:35.

Afterwards the Rebbe shlit"a went over to Mivtzar HaKollelim, where the annual hischazkus gathering of the 'Leil Shishi Group' took place. Several inspiring nigunim were sung, and R' Hershel Kohn shlit"a spoke.
The Rebbe shlit"a drank a lechayim and wished the entire gathering well, and delivered holy words of hischazkus, praising the distinguished group that strengthens itself in the service of Hashem, and speaking of the importance in our times of even a small good deed in the service of Hashem. He said, "To remain a Chassidic Jew in the year 5783 is possible only by learning Chassidic seivorim and by associating with Chassidic Jews in one group," and concluded with abundant blessings. It concluded at around 11:10.
