It was forty years ago when the Rebbe initiated two days prior to the Six-Day-War a mass Tefillin campaign. The Boston Globe describes the campaign a few months later:
“Just before the outbreak of the war, an active campaign to push observance by Jewish males over 13 years of age to do the “mitzvah” of tefillin was launched by Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, the “Lubavitcher Rebbe” of New York--leader of a Hasidic sect with branches throughout the world.”
