In 1973, Schneerson started a [[Hanukkah|Chanukah]] campaign to encourage all Jews worldwide to light their own menorah. After all-tin menorahs were given out that year, a military manufacturer was commissioned to distribute tens of thousands of additional menorahs. In 1974, a public lighting of a Chanukah menorah was held by the [[Liberty Bell]] in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and in years following, menorah lightings on public grounds were conducted in cities worldwide. Legal challenges to the lighting on public grounds reached the [[Supreme Court of the United States]], and it was ruled that public lighting did not violate the [[Constitution of the United States|Constitution]]. Public lightings continue in thousands of cities today.<ref>Joseph Telushkin, Rebbe: The Life and Teachings of Menachem M. Schneerson, the Most Influential Rabbi in Modern History.
