Editing Mivtza Chinuch (section)

== History of the Campaign ==
On Shabbos Parshas Acharei Mos, 24 Nissan 5736 (1976), Shabbos Mevorchim Chodesh Iyar, the Rebbe announced 'Mivtza Chinuch' and 'The Year of Education', similar to the President of the United States who also declared a 'Year of Education'.

According to the Rebbe's instructions, activities focused on enrolling children in kosher summer camps and registering children in institutions providing authentic Jewish education.

Additionally, in sudden farbrengens held in the weeks following the announcement of 'Mivtza Chinuch', the Rebbe listed additional directives. Among them, he demanded that everyone should strive not only to act themselves but to encourage others to participate in this campaign. He called upon institution directors to accept additional students even when facing financial difficulties and rejected the possibility of dismissing teachers and educators due to financial shortages.

The Rebbe emphasized the importance of this campaign as it forms the foundation for children's entire lives and influences them throughout their lifetime. He defined its goal as ensuring that no Jewish child remains without receiving a kosher Jewish education.

In one of his letters, the Rebbe called this campaign: "A general-great campaign that includes all general campaigns."
