As our brethren (including members of Anash) are on the front lines fighting to secure fellow Yiden, it is incumbent upon us to do what the Rebbe assured would significantly assist in the security of our fellow Yiden - Learn “lines” of Torah!
The following is a few sources on the effect of Torah learning on security:

1) When Bilaam was asked if he could to curse the Yiden he said that ״if the sound of Torah is heard in the Beis Midrash, I will be unable to ״. [Midrash Eicha Chapter 2]

The Soldiers Are on the Front Lines, Which Lines are You on?

MONTREAL, Canada [CHI] — The Chabad elementary Yeshivah in Montreal increased their security last week. This comes after a Middle Eastern looking man was inquiring some young pupils as to their schedule, more specifically they were asked, “When is lunch and dismissal?”

Yeshivah personnel, who later informed about the inquiring Arab, beefed up security around the building. This included bolting shut all entrances to the building, as well as hiring full-time security to monitor people coming into the building at the front entrance.

JERUSALEM, Israel — “Every dollar we received, we spent in order to connect another Jew with his roots. Our budget was on an enormous upward trend, but it will be smaller next year, partly because of the huge campaign we led in honor of the state's 60th anniversary,” said Gideon Mark, the CEO of Birthright, at a conference held in Jerusalem's International Convention Center last Thursday.

Birthright, known as Taglit in Hebrew, provides educational trips to Israel for young Jewish adults aged 18-26.
