A Chabad “mitzvah tank” went up in flames in central Tel Aviv on Wednesday during a public reading of Megillat Esther for the Purim holiday, but in a miraculous turn of events no one was harmed.
Around 40 people were inside the “tank” at the time, but they managed to escape the burning vehicle unscathed – incredibly sets of tefilin (phylacteries) and talitot (prayer shawls) in the vehicle also were found whole in the burnt out vehicle after the fire.
Rabbi David Nachshon, CEO of the Chabad Mitzvah Mobiles, said, “the merit of those conducting the operations of the Rebbe (Rabbi Menachem Schneerson – ed.) saved them.”
“We merited a miracle from the rebbe. The damage was enormous, now we’re raising the money to obtain an alternate tank,” he added.
The fire was caused by the hot weather combined with a malfunction in the vehicle’s generator, which set the engine on fire.
part that was left not burned is the Ahavas Yisroel slogan.
iyh you should be able replace it and continue in your hafatzah work and continue to bring nachas to the rebbe!!
B”H everyone is OK! And in the zechus of the Tankistim’s work, they will have a new tank even sooner than expected. And let Moshiach come even sooner than expected.
Cut out the politics please
Baruch HaShem everyone was safe.
i dont get what your point is!!!!
Baruch hashem no one was hurt

The part which was burned to a crisp was the Rebbe’s picture on the back with the Yechi slogan.
