Yes, we are aware of widespread reports of a line of 56 Mitzvah Tanks driving slowly through Manhattan. At first, we thought the Hasidim had decided to topple the godless Bloomberg administration in a bloody coup, but then we got this press release from Lubavitcher World Headquarters:
New Yorkers and tourists heading out for lunch this Thursday April 6 2006 could be greeted by an unexpected surprise. A parade, consisting of fifty-six motor homes, known as mitzvah tanks, will march through the streets of Manhattan, in celebration of the 104th birthday of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson.A team of young rabbinical students, ranging from sixteen to twenty-five years of age, has raised approximately $75,000 to host the mitzvah tank parade...
TENTATIVE Parade Route: Brooklyn: Eastern Parkway TO Flatbush Ave. Manhattan Bridge to Sixth Ave. Up Sixth Ave. to 59th Street Down Fifth Ave. to Twenty Third Street
So that's a relief! We were totally worried we'd have to grow beards!
