"Kuntres Chag HaGeulah Yud-Beis and Yud-Gimmel Tammuz 5688", and one-dollar Bill for Charity, distributed by Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Brooklyn, New York: Kehot Publication Society, 1991. "200th Birthday of the Tzemach Tzedek and 40 Years of the Rebbe’s Leadership".
Before Chag HaGeulah, the Rebbe ordered the publication of the famed Kuntres, with new additions (some for the first time).
The Lubavitcher Rebbe distributed the present booklet on Sunday evening, 9th Tamuz, 1990 – following the Maariv prayer, after his return from his father-in-law’s Ohel. The booklet contains a letter and a Chassidic Maamar, sent by the Rebbe Rayatz on the occasion of the first Chag HaGeulah, Yud-Beis and Yud-Gimmel Tammuz 1928, one year after he was released from the Soviet prison; it contains five additional letters, sent by the Rebbe Rayatz in 1928. Alongside each booklet, the Lubavitcher Rebbe distributed a one Dollar bill for charity.
On Sunday night, eve of the 9th of Tammuz 1990, thousands of copies of this new and revised edition of the Kuntres were printed. The Rebbe returned from the Ohel at approx. 9:45 pm , and after a few minutes entered the shul for mincha and maariv. Meanwhile the public was notified that after maariv the Admor would hand out the new Kuntres, so a large crowd gathered.
At the end of Maariv, the Admor went down to the Chaluka station next to his Bimah, and began handing out copies with dollars inserted in them. The Admor gave each of those who passed a copy. To many of those who passed him, he smiled (especially children). When a chatan and kallah passed, he blessed them with mazal tov, and gave them two copies.
