The Rebbe began discussing the idea of Hafatzos Hayahadus From the very first days of Dor Hashvi’i, as it is well-known, the Rebbe already laid out the mission statement of this generation by the historic Farbrengen of Yud Shevat 5711.
We find all throughout Toras Menachem from 5710 before the Rebbe officially accepted the Nesius, that the Rebbe would Farbren about being Mekarev a friend, often making Chasidim take Hachlatos to do so. Most notably, Simchas Torah (English) and Yud Tes Kislev Seif 22 (English) of 5711.
The first time the Rebbe spoke about a specific Mivtza was over Sukkos 5714/1953 (Audio), the Rebbe encouraged Chassidim to offer Yidden the opportunity to shake the Lulav and Esrog. Many Chassidim did go on Mivtzoim that Sukkos as is evident from a Duch which the Chassidim presented the Rebbe after Yom Tov
Throughout the years the Rebbe narrowed it down to 10 “main” Mitzvos for beginners, which is now known as the 10 Mivtzoim.
The Mivtzoim came gradually, the first one - Tefillin, was launched in the fall of 5727/1966. The Rebbe launched this particular Mivtza in connection with the events happening in Israel at the time, promising that Tefillin will be of special merit for the safety and security of Israel.
The second - Mivtza Torah, was launched in the winter of 5731/1971, and the rest was launched over the years of 5734-5735/1974-1975, besides for Mivtza Ahavas Yisroel and Chinuch which was launched in 5736/1976.
From when the Mivtzoim began to come out, the Rebbe mentioned the Mivtzoim, especially the most recent one, at all the Farbrengens. Sometimes it would only be a quick mention and other times the Rebbe would speak about it at great length.
Therefore we cannot link every Sicha here but you are welcome to visit our pages on the 10 Mivtzoim where you will find most of the Sichos pertaining to that Mivtza.
However, we will link below a collection of Sichos where the Rebbe discussed all or part of the 10 Mivtzoim and its general idea.
