and Forty Years of Mivtza Tefillin


I was remiss in not mentioning that this year also marks 40 years since the Rebbe initiated Mivtza Tefillin just before the Six Day War. As usual Chabad.org has some interesting and informative pages about the Tefillin Campaign in general and the 40th anniversary in particular.
