After receiving scores of applications for the new Mitzvah Tank Initiative, Machne Israel’s Keren Mamosh has announced the winners of the grants.
Three winners—who were selected from among the qualifying applications via a goral lots process—will each receive $18,000 to be used for the purchase and outfitting of a Mitzvah Tank.
The winners are:
Rabbi Yaakov and Tiferes Cahnman – Rural Northeastern AZ, USA
Rabbi Yisroel and Sarah Bernath – Montreal, QC, Canada
Rabbi Mendel and Musya Shemtov – Montevideo, Uruguay
“We are so blessed to have the opportunity to build a Mitzvah Tank which will, G-d willing, bring much light and joy throughout Arizona,” said Rabbi Yaakov Cahnman.
Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky, who spearheaded the establishment of Keren Mamosh, congratulated the winners and reminisced of the time the Rebbe told him to tell the NY TImes reporter that the mitzvah mobiles are “tanks against assimilation.” Rabbi Krinsky wished them hatzlacha in their new sphere of spreading yiddishkeit, bringing the Rebbe’s mitzvah campaigns and much more to hard to reach areas.
Machne Israel established Keren Mamosh in the days following Gimmel Tammuz 5754 to strengthen Chabad-Lubavitch institutions and carry forward the Rebbe’s mission. For more than three decades, it has supported initiatives that bring that vision to life.
