75 Mitzvah Tank headed out on Wednesday for the Mitzvah Tank Parade celebrating the Rebbe’s birthday and sharing the message of the Pesach holiday with all.
The Mitzvah Tank Parade, led by Rabbis Mordy Hirsch and Moishy Schmukler, Directors of the Mitzvah Tank Office, and Shmuli Shuchat, Parade Director, was truly a special event, with the Rebbe’s army of Mitzvah Tanks bringing the message of Pesach and Moshiach to the streets of New York City.
COLlive.com exclusively live broadcasted the parade.
The parade featured 75 Mitzvah Tanks aiming to reach 100,000 Jews and forever impact their lives, distributing matzah and encouraging people to lay tefillin, bringing the mitzvah of connection with Hashem to everyone they encountered.
As the Mitzvah Tanks traveled through the city, they were greeted with excitement and joy by the people of New York. Hundreds of people donned tefillin, and many others participated in Mivtzoim, spreading the message of Torah and Moshiach to their fellow Jews.
The Mitzvah Tank Organization thanked Devorah Halberstam – honorary NYPD commissioner and community activist, for her assistance with coordinating the parade which required much logistical planning.
They also thanked the NYPD Highway Patrol, NYPD Brooklyn South Chief Francis Giordano, NYPD Chief Richard Taylor and the 71st Pct. under the leadership of Commanding Officer Captain Ronald Perez, as well as Sergeant Mike Baratta and NYPD Community Affairs Officer Jonathan Connors for their assistance in making the parade possible.
The Mitzvah Tank Office thanks everyone who supports the parade and helps make it a success.
The following are the people who worked for days and nights to make the Parade happen.
