Editing The Ten Mivtzoim (section)

== Defense and Rescue Mivtzoim ==
In the year 1974 (5734), the 'Tzaddik from Ra'anana,' Rabbi Yitzchak Huberman, expressed that there would be bloodshed in Israel that year, when the year passed and nothing happened, he was asked to explain this, and he replied that, indeed he saw that this year was supposed to be very difficult for the Jewish nation, but in the merit of the Mivtzoim of the Rebbe which were announced throughout the year, the decree was annulled, and the bloodshed 'moved' to Cyprus, where a fierce war broke out following the Turkish army's invasion.
The Rebbe, in his talks and letters, connected the campaigns themselves to protection and salvation, based on the teachings of our sages (רז"ל).

* '''[[Mivtza Torah]]''' - Torah saves and protects<ref> Sotah 21a.</ref> (תורה מגנא ומצלא).
* '''[[Mivtza Tefillin]]''' - Tefillin cause the nations of the world to fear the Jewish people as it says: "and they will fear you"<ref> Brachos 6a.</ref> (ויראו ממך).
* '''[[Mivtza Mezuzah]]''' - A mezuzah ensures that "Hashem will guard your going out and your coming in from now and for all time," ("השם ישמור צאתך ובואך מעתה ועד עולם") and it is the custom to inscribe the name 'ש-ד-י' on the Mezuzah which stands for "שומר דלתות ישראל".
* '''[[Mivtza Tzedakah]]''' - Charity increases protection, as the promise of Hashem just as you give life to the poor so too Hashem will give life to you <ref> Midrash Tanchuma, Mishpatim 15: 1. </ref>.
* '''[[Mivtza Bayis Molei Seforim]]''' - Just as a Mezuzah protects the home so too does a house full of Seforim - and in the broader sense, the essence of the house transforms into a house of Torah - making it a house which is more guarded and protected <ref> Bamidbar Rabbah beginning of Parshas Korach. </ref>.
* '''[[Mivtza Sefer Torah Haklali]]''' - It is not one of the Ten Mivtzoim but it does provide protection, defense, and success to someone which has a letter in this Sefer Torah.
