At the Yud Tes Kislev Farbrengens, the Rebbe would remind the crowd gathered, to make the proper preparations for Mivtzah Chanukah and ensure that every single Jew will light their Chanukah Menorah, thereby lighting up the world with the light of Chanukah.
This year the Mitzvah Tank Organization has began their preparations, for the largest Menorah Parade, which will conquer the NYC streets. This year however, there will be many new twists added.
The first major change is the parade’s date. For the past few years the parade has been held on Thursday night, for various reasons this year’s parade will be changed and take place Motzei Shabbos.
Thanks to a group of dedicated Oholei Torah Bochurim, there will be a special emphasis on increasing the number of vehicles that will participate in the parade. The organizers therefore urge all families that have Menorah atop their cars to participate in the parade, thereby lighting up the entire NYC with the light if Chanukah. For those that don’t yet have a car Menorah, one can be purchased by visiting CarMenorah.com.
There will also be a special emphasis on continuing the light of the parade, by taking the entire family on Mivtzoim. The MTO will therefore be providing Mivtzoim locations for each car. Additionally there will be an option to purchase Menorah kits and guides for the Mivtzoim that will follow the parade.
Lma’an haseder, the NYPD requires to have a copy of each parade participant’s driver’s license, and registration. Therefore all those that wish to participate in the parade, MUST submit their license, and registration via the registration system. Those who do not register will not be able to participate.
To register visit Menorahparade.nyc
The MTO would like to thank the NYPD, and the 71st pct. for making this year parade possible.
This year there will also be an option to be a parade VIP by having your car sponsored by family and friends. Aside from having the Zchus of participating in the costs of this Major Mivtza Chanukah, the VIPs will also lead the parade.
Organizers request that those participating in the parade should arrive on time, as the parade will be passing the largest Menorah worldwide, as it’s being lit.
Don’t delay, as registration closes 25 Kislev, Dec 17, 10 PM
For more info, call the parade hotline @ 718-804-0077 Ext. 129
The organizers hope that it will be this parade, where we will end this Golus and March towards the Geulah Ha’amitis V’hashleima, with the Rebbe leading the way!
והוא יוליכנו עם הטנקים לארצינו, יבוא ויגאלנו!

The parade is being organized by the Mitzvah Tank Organization, and under the auspicious of Lubavitch Youth Organization.
This year parade will take place Motzei Shabbos, 28 Kislev, Dec 20, der finfte lichtel – the fifth night of Chanukah, at 6:30 PM sharp.
Thank you, good advice.
got an electric menorah for $25 and a power adapter (inverter) for my car. Freilichen Chanukah!
Thank you to all those who put in so much effort to making the parade actually happen!! Some of u might not realize how much time and energy is put into the parade. From renting the tanks for the boys to organizing with the police…yo all take it for granted that it’s all organized. Why don’t you stop and thank the people who make it possible for you to join in a parade. Without them there wouldn’t be a parade…a little but off appreciation is always nice!! 🙂
Now I can finally join again!!! It was so upsetting when it would happen during the week.
Can rented cars joined?
If yeah, how can they be registered without registration?
I heard this year its being ran by mendy heber and yitzy oster
you can buy a battery operated menorah for about $25 on Kingston and attach that to you car.
