During this period, the Rebbe selected established the 12 Bible verse and began holding periodic rallies for children where they would recite the 12 verses. A few years later, on April 15, 1980 (29 Nisan 5740), the Lubavitcher Rebbe announced a new campaign for children. The Rebbe outlined a program that began with preparations for Pesach, which was only two weeks away. This program included the notable "matzah ball contest," reaching over fifty thousand children, and continued with Lag BaOmer, which featured the largest parade to date, attracting over twenty thousand participants. Before Shavuot that year, the Lubavitcher Rebbe announced an initiative for every child to be present in synagogue for the reading of the Ten Commandments, and during the summer, rallies were frequently held.
Today Tzivos Hashem serves primarily Orthodox Jewish children and has established a prominent presence in many schools worldwide.
Each mission is designed to help participants earn points, medals, and promotions in rank within the organization’s structured hierarchy, which parallels Military rank, beginning at "Private" and advancing to ranks such as "Sergeant" and "General." Points and achievements are recorded, and children are recognized for their progress. The highest rank is "Five Star General".
Tzivos Hashem’s monthly rallies, also known as "Chayolei Tzivos Hashem" gatherings, function as a communal platform for children enrolled in the program to celebrate their achievements. Each rally typically includes a variety of activities tailored to Jewish holidays, special dates, and educational themes, aiming to reinforce Jewish values through interactive experiences. Children are recognized for their completion of “missions” and are awarded prizes for their efforts. These gatherings may include songs, storytelling, and video segments, which engage children in learning and underscore the values promoted within the program.
