As 11 Mitzvah Tanks rolled out of the Chabad Lubavitch parking lot and made their way down Bathurst St. the 680 news room was flooded with calls about a mobile parade making its way down south.
Despite rain and the cloudy weather, the parade drove down Yonge St, a very busy popular area, till Lawrence Ave, where the tanks split up to their pre-determined locations around Toronto.
Once again arranged and organized by Mendy Goldberg, Shmuli Shuchat and Dovid Goldberg, the project has been in planning for many weeks and was a success.
The tanks were well stocked with Matzah, Tefillin, Neshek, and Pesach guides ready to spread the awareness of Pesach around the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
The weather did not dampen the Yud Alef Nissan spirit from the Bochurim and children which took to the streets of Toronto with an incredible chayus, and within a few hours of Mivtzoim managed to don Tefillin on hundreds of men and boys, gave out hundreds of Neshek to the women and girls, distributed around 2,000 Matzos and many Pesach guides.
With gratitude and hope that these 11 tanks, corresponding to the Rebbe’s 110th birthday, should bring Nachas to the Rebbe and bring Moshiach Now.
Give credit where it is due!! This entire pe’ulah would not take place without the support and backing of the Head Shaliach Rabbis Zalaman Ahron and Itche Grossbaum. They are the silent guiding hand behind everything done in Toronto, yet they are humble and don’t seek credit for it, actually they make others feel that it happened independently on its own. (The simple proof is: Since when does a company rent out RV’s to teenage boys??? And if the Head SHaliach did not sponsor the event, why are the tanks are lined up outside the Lubavitch Center???)
The boys were made to feel as if it is “their” project but rest assured, the silent guiding hand behind the scenes was the Head Shaliach Rabbi Zalman Ahron & Itche Grossbaum. They are so humble that they seek no honour for themselves but we must recognize their organizational leadership. If not for them, this wouldn’t have happened!
Wow! What amazing work! The picturesare beautiful! Mendy, Dovid ,Shimon and Yossi: May you continue giving the Rebbe, your parents and your grandparents much yiddishe and chassidishe nachas!
