Two days before the six day war broke out, 40 years ago on the 27th of Iyyar 5727, the Rebbe came out with the ‘Mivtza Tefillin’ campaign for soldiers and all Yidden to put on Tefillin.

Following here is an excerpt from the video ‘Peace upon the Land’ produced by JEM (you can buy it by Clicking Here) where the Rebbe speaks about the war, how we should have no fear and how the nations that descend upon us will fear us and scatter.

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.”
