Shisha Yamim (Six Days)

As enemies amassed their armies, with the stated goal of wiping her off the map, Israel and the Jewish world were thrust into gloom and despair, a lone voice of reassurance emerged as the Rebbe promised great miracles and issued a call for all male soldiers in the IDF and Jewish men the world over to wrap Teffilin, citing the verse: “And when the nations see the name of G-d upon you, they will fear you.”

That Teffilin elicits the fear and respect of the nations, is something the Rebbe knew well from his own personal experience on the Riga bound train, as recounted in “The Prayer of the Proud.”
