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, passing 770 at 10:30 am.
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.
