'''mivtza Torah''' is one of the ten campaigns initiated by the Lubavitcher Rebbe to inspire Jewish people to increase their Torah study. The campaign was announced in 1974 (5734), alongside other campaigns such as "Mezuzah Campaign," "Charity Campaign," "Home Full of Jewish Books Campaign," and "Shabbat Candle Lighting Campaign" (Neshek).
=== History of the Campaign ===
The campaign originated from a call made by the Rebbe on Tu B’Shvat of 1971 (5731), where he proclaimed the need to "conquer the world" through increased Torah study. Three years later, this call was formalized into a campaign.
The Rebbe emphasized that participants should lead by example, actively studying Torah themselves and memorizing sections to share with others. The campaign was extended to include women, as long as their participation did not interfere with other obligations, particularly child education.
=== Activities of the Campaign ===
The campaign's initiatives include:
* Torah classes held in Chabad Houses and communities worldwide.
* Periodic exams in Chabad yeshivas on the Talmudic tractates studied.
* Outreach to encourage every Jew to dedicate at least a few moments daily to Torah study.
=== Yagdil Torah Organization ===
This organization was founded in 2008 (5768) in Crown Heights by Rabbi Levi Yitzchok Brod, in memory of his son, Menachem Mendel, of blessed memory. It aims to promote Torah study within the community through diverse classes, annual guides, study partnerships, recorded lessons, and more.
=== Strengthening the Campaign During Times of Crisis ===
The Rebbe instructed that during challenging times, all campaigns, particularly Campaign Torah, should be intensified. He highlighted that Torah study provides a unique level of protection and unity with God, as explained in the Tanya.
The Rebbe also stressed the importance of supporting Torah institutions, whether year-round or seasonal, as any setting where Torah is studied brings blessings and strength.
