== Background == From the very beginning of his leadership, the Rebbe passionately engaged in spreading Judaism and the wellsprings of Chassidus, inscribing the motto 'Ufaratzta' on his banner. In continuation of this, the Rebbe initiated these special 'Mivtzoim' (campaigns) to awaken Jews to perform practical commandments, being that 'one mitzvah leads to another mitzvah,' as a result of the great awakening that the Rebbe inspired. These campaigns were carefully chosen by him, being 'general commandments' that should be observed with greater meticulousness and urgency than any other commandment, because the observance of these commandments by every Jew is more relevant to each individual Jew and to the entire Jewish people as a whole. In one of the letters<ref> Letter to the student of Yeshivas Tomchei Temimim in Montreal, the end of the month of Sivan 5734 - Likkutei Sichos volume 13 page 205. </ref> the Rebbe connected the Ten Campaigns with what is written in Seforim, that the second letters of the names of the patriarchs Avraham, Yitzchok, and Yaakov (ื'''ื'''ืจืื ื'''ืฆ'''ืืง ืื'''ืข'''ืงื) spell 'ืืฆืข,' which is related to the Ten Campaigns. The Rebbe explained that the main focus of these campaigns is the practical aspect, as it matches the root 'ืืฆืข,' which signifies conclusion and completion<ref> Sicha from Parshas Shelach the 25th of Sivan 5734. </ref>.
