All lanes of the upper level of the Brooklyn-bound side of the Verrazano Bridge were blocked Monday night causing traffic delays.
Included in the jam, which stretched for almost five miles, was a Sukkah mobile, returning from a day of Mivtzoim in the Staten Island area.
Seeing that the jam was not clearing up anytime soon, the bochurim in the Sukkah mobile got to work, and setup their mobile Sukkah right there.
They attracted much positive attention from other motorists stuck on the road. Being that it was already after nightfall, they couldn’t shake the Lulav with others, but that didn’t stop them from dancing and distributing cake and drinks to those around them.
Jewish travelers were able to hop into the Sukkah for a bite to eat as supper time went by with traffic still not moving.
The sight of the lit up musical mobile Sukkah amidst the standstill brought a smile to frustrated drivers crawling through the traffic, and one driver even said it was worthwhile to spend a little longer getting home just to see the Sukkah.
Baruch HaShem!!!
Loved it!!!
Best memories going over the Verazzano Bridge to help the wonderful Katzman’s of SI, Emesseh Shluchim of the Rebbe. Warm, Ehrlich and turning over the Island.
The Bochurim were:
Eli Weiss
Mendel Weiss
Izzy Adelist
Yes chaim levilev is the best bachur in lubavitch!! He single handedly got the sukkah mobiles up and running ,got the drivers and dealt with all the shluchim
Yashar koach chaim!
Without chaim levilev and his devoted team, none of this would be possible!! A big yasher koach.
And also all the drivers that dedicated so many hours to this important mivtzoim.
