Chabad is going old-school.
The very first Chabad cable car, a modern take on the iconic Mitzva Tank set to blend into the scenic streets of San Francisco, was officially introduced on Lag BaOmer.
Traveling the 8 hour drive, the cable car was brought on a flatbed truck to have it formally introduced at the Great Parade in Los Angeles.
Also making the trip was a motorcycle, the legendary one that Rabbi Yosef Langer, Shliach of San Francisco, drives around the city and considered Chabad’s smallest Chabad center.
Rabbi Langer has poured tremendous resources into restoring and remolding an antique cable car to become a fully-functioning mobile Chabad house to service the San Francisco area.
Participating the in the ribbon cutting ceremony was Rabbi Shlomo Cunin, Head Shliach of the West Coast.
Following the ceremony, the cable car took its maiden voyage, along the parade grounds. Shortly after the parade, the Chabad cable car was carefully mounted back onto the flatbed, where it began its 8 hour trek back north.
Parade organizers wished Rabbis Yosef and Moshe Langer success in their Shlichus in bringing light to the world and spreading the love of a Jew to one another.
