The Rebbe followed closely the success of the Oholei Torah Dinners, in fact, when questioned whether to hold a Dinner every year, the Rebbe encouraged that it be a yearly event. The Rebbe wrote a letter for each Dinner, carrying an important message to the guests, as well as to the mossad.

One of the students’ non-religious Jewish professors came along to the Yechidus, and evidently he wasn’t too happy when he noticed that some or many of the students were taking the Rebbe’s words to heart, and were resolving to strengthen their commitment to Torah and mitzvos.
