Mivtza Tefillin is the first of The Ten Mivtzoim which the Rebbe announced in 1967 (5727).
The Rebbe called upon all Chabad Chassidim to help every Jew put on tefiliin every weekday.
Establishment of the Mivtza
On Shabbos parshas Bamidbar, which was also Shabbos Mevorchim of the Month of Sivan in the year 1927 (5727), a few days before the outbreak of the Six-Day War, when Jews were under great tension and in a gloomy mood - the Rebbe spoke at the farbrengen in the afternoon, and turned to the Chassidim with a call to go out to the "streets of the city" and help Jews with the Zechus of putting on tefillin, which is a mitzvah that is compared to the entire Torah and has a special merit for ensuring the victory of the Jewish nation in war.
Regarding the Mitzvah of tefillin the Rebbe quoted the Gemara "whoever lays tefillin lengthens their days". Additionally, our sages of blessed memory said that the verse "And all the nations of the world will see that the name of Hashem is called upon you - and they will fear you" ("וראו כל עמי הארץ כי שם ה' נקרא עליך - ויראו ממך") - this is referring to the tefillin of the head[1]. Therefore, putting on tefillin is a merit for longevity and victory in war by instilling fear on the enemies. And for this reason it is the duty to help every Jew with this important mitzvah, especially the soldiers who are going to the battlefield.
In the days leading up to the war, the words of the Rebbe served as an encouragement to all the Jews around the world, He said that when Hakadosh Baruch Hu (G-d) conducts war, the enemy is completely nullified, and then the verse "Not one person will be missing" ("לא נפקד ממנו איש") is fulfilled - meaning all Jews remain complete.
As a result, immediately after Shabbos ended, this Sicha was published in Israel and the world, and the next day this big Mivtza began, encompassing the entire Jewish nation, from the young age of bar mitzvah.
Continuation of the Mivtza
After the victory of the war and the great miracles which occurred, Chabad Chassidim around the world continued with mivtza tefillin, with the encouragement of the Rebbe. a In the meantime there were those who asked the Rebbe why should this mivtza continue, the war ended with a great victory? the Rebbe responded on the 15th of Teves 1928
