When the Rebbe established Tzivos Hashem in Shnas Hakhel 5741, the Rebbe asked that all the children should gather in groups, preferably on Shabbos or other special days. These groups should be called Tzivos Hashem. By using the same name in all countries they would be united. But it wasn’t just a name; the Rebbe wanted the groups to run like a real army.
The children were to gather with their generals and train how to fight their Yetzer Hora. The Rebbe even went into the details of the curriculum. The children should learn from the example of the Avos, Imohos and Dovid Hamelech as their example how to overcome their personal battles, the Rebbe said.
“We have been pushing this concept for many years through the Hachayol Magazine,” says General Shimmy Weinbaum of the Chayolei Tzivos Hashem Brigade. “While it created awareness we had a very limited success. This year being Shnas Hakhel we pushed again, with the amazing video posted above, but this time thanks to Tzivos Hashem Hakhel Director Chaya Illulian the Rebbe’s vision finally started to unfold.”
Tzivos Hashem started a pilot program with Beis Rivka and Bnos Menachem of Crown Heights and simply from word of mouth there are currently 112 Hakhels Squads using the curriculums from Crown Heights to Marine Park, Boro Park, Flatbush, Howard Beach-Queens, Midwood, Monsey and Far Rockaway. The phones at Tzivos Hashem are ringing off the hook from people requesting the incredible curriculum.
Now that the clocks have changed and Messibas Shabbos will be starting up all around the country Tzivos Hashem is excited to share this curriculum with schools free of charge, along with step by step support from the Hakhel coordinator Chaya Illulian. To join, simply email [email protected].
