In reply to Mendel. The concern is, that some might substitute the challenge for the date. It goes without saying if one does not lose sight of the challenge all year, there is nothing wrong with ALSO marking marks the date.

In reply to Sholom+Avtzon. "However, what exactly are we supposed to do after this sicha, is not so clear." The Rebbe clarified on the following Shabbos EXACTLY what we are supposed to do.

In reply to anonymous. If the Rebbe gave a Chossid a challenge for life in their first Yechidus, they are not allowed to commemorate that important date? Rashbatz?

Yes we don’t speak about commemorating the beginning of mivtza tefillin because almost every bochur goes on every Friday and Erev Yom Tov on his tefillin route. It is part and parcel of being a Lubavitcher
However, what exactly are we supposed to do after this sicha, is not so clear. Some Lubavitchers say this and some say that. Boruch Hashem we are now hearing an unified message from the tut altz campaign.
So by not commemorating it, it is either as the author states or it is because some want to “erase” it and the proof is that for many years many didn’t want to discuss it.
So farbrenging today is a statement and not farbrenging is also a statement

In reply to Sholom+Avtzon. You miss the point! The entire point is that Chof Ches Nissan is NOT a Yoma D’pagra, just as the day the Rebbe launched the Mivtzoim never became days to celebrate!

I too dunno!
As mentioned earlier the Rebbe did not celebrate the day he launched Mivtza Tefillin, Mivtza Mezuza etc. etc.

In other words some days are to me marked, but some Mivtzoim are to be marked but not it’s dates!

In reply to Sholom+Avtzon. here it is not quite a yoma dpagra its a sicha which the rebbe said many times (example: the first sicha after the maamar bosi legani) and on chof ches sivan the rebbe said in much stronger oisiyos. we recieved a challenge not a "special day"

I dunno about that.
It’s a nice point, but the rebbe always commemorated days. In fact, one of the big deals about commemorating a day, is to stretch its impact throughout the year.
How many times did the rebbe say in a sicha that it’s not about the day rather a reminder.
A day’s whole point is to remind us so we don’t just move on like nothing happened.

You can say that same thought by every Yoma D’pagra
