The Rebbes of Chabad have issued the call to all Jews to attract non-observant Jews to adopt Orthodox Jewish observance, teaching that this activity is part of the process of bringing the ''[[Jewish messianism|Messiah]]''. Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson issued a call to every Jew: "Even if you are not fully committed to a Torah life, do something. Begin with a [[mitzvah]]—any mitzvah—its value will not be diminished by the fact that there are others that you are not prepared to do".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.chabad.org/therebbe/article_cdo/aid/62228/jewish/10-Point-Mitzvah-Campaign.htm |title=The Rebbe's 10-Point Mitzvah Campaign |publisher=Chabad |access-date=2010-05-12}}</ref>

Schneerson also suggested ten specific {{Lang|he|mitzvot}} that he believed were ideally suited for the emissaries to introduce to non-observant Jews. These were called {{Lang|he|mivtzoim}}—meaning "campaigns" or "endeavors". These were lighting candles before [[Shabbat]] and the [[Jewish holiday]]s by Jewish women, putting on {{Lang|he|[[tefillin]]}}, affixing a {{Lang|he|[[mezuzah]]}}, regular [[Torah study]], giving {{Lang|he|[[tzedakah]]}}, purchasing [[Sefer (Hebrew)|Jewish books]], observing {{Lang|he|[[kashrut]]}} (kosher), kindness to others, [[Jewish education|Jewish religious education]], and observing [[niddah|the family purity]] laws.{{Citation needed|date=May 2009}}

In addition, Schneerson emphasized spreading awareness of preparing for and the coming of the {{Lang|he|[[Messiah in Judaism|moshiach]]}}, consistent with his philosophy. He wrote on the responsibility to reach out to teach every fellow Jew with love, and implored that all Jews believe in the imminent coming of the {{Lang|he|moshiach}} as explained by [[Maimonides]]. He argued that redemption was predicated on Jews doing good deeds, and that gentiles should be educated about the [[Seven Laws of Noah|Noahide Laws]].

Schneerson was emphatic about the need to encourage and provide strong education for every child, Jew and non-Jew alike. In honor of Schneerson's efforts in education the [[United States Congress]] has made [[Education and Sharing Day]] on the Rebbe's Hebrew birthday ([[11 Nissan]]).
