One of the Horaos of the Rebbe in honor of Yud Shvat was to give Tzedaka to a Moisad of the Friediker Rebbe and many times the Rebbe stressed the importance of donating to Released Time—especially on Yud Shvat.
בבקר קודם התפלה ירים כל אחד תרומה להענינים השייכים לנשיאנו, הוא כ”ק מו”ח אדמו”ר הכ”מ, בעד עצמו ובעד כל אחד מבני ביתו שיחיו, וכן קודם תפלת מנחה (ממכתב כ”ק אדמו”ר ראש חודש שבט, תשי”א)
ביום היארצייט דכבוד קדושת אדמו”ר מורי וחמי אביע תקותי שעושה כת”ר ויעשה גם בעתיד כל שביכלתו לבסס הריליז טיים לילדי ישראל במחנו, ענין שבעל היארצייט השתדל בו ביותר והפציר בכל אחד להשתדל בזה, והרי דברי צדיקים קיימים. וגדול זכות כל השתדל בזה ובפרט רב בעדתו. (אגרות קודש חלק כ”ד ד’ ס”ב, י’ שבט תשכ”ו)
