Live: 50th Mitzvah Tank Parade Heads Out to NYC

The 50th Mitzvah Tank parade, the annual parade of Mitzvah Tanks which heads out to the streets of New York City in honor of the Rebbe’s birthday on Yud Alef Nissan, will take place on Thursday, April 18th.

Preparations for the Parade are in full swing, which takes on greater significance this year due to the current war in Israel. The Mitzvah tanks were founded 50 years ago following the Yom Kippur War, and now, 50 years later, they are going stronger than ever, helping to fight darkness with light wherever they go.

This year, to celebrate the Rebbe’s birthday, 74 Mitzvah Tanks will head out in honor of the 74 years of the Rebbe’s leadership.

The Parade is scheduled for Thursday, April 18, leaving President Street and Kingston Avenue at 10:00 am.

COLlive will be exclusively live-streaming the Parade, with host comedian Mendy Pellin. Popular vlogger Yakov Gelin from “Yid on the Street” will join the parade as well.

He will be capturing content for “Thank you Hashem” and its large following in the Jewish world.

A campaign has been launched to raise $180k for the Parade; all are encouraged to donate at TankParade.com

The Mitzvah Tank Organization is under the auspices of the Lubavitch Youth Organization.
