April Foolz Mitzvah Tanks
Rabbinical students to pull off April Fool’s stunt throughout streets of Manhattan. Say what you will, but these guys are still the best and only thing we Jews have to combat the rampant missionary activity in this city.

I’ve never understood why they call their RVs ‘Tanks’
what’s up with that
They gave my friend a bar mitzvah in one of them though, since he never had one

it’s because the campaign of ‘on-the-go’ tefillin started for Israeli soldiers during the 1967 war.

I remember those guys occasionally turning up in the parking lot scenes at Grateful Dead shows. I used to try to talk them into devising a halachic alternative-vegetarian tfillin. Good sports, for the most part.

the reazon they are called tanks is simply because they are compared to the tanks at war. the tanks at war fight for the contry - these tanks fight for the religion(through acts of goodness)! the tanks at war fight against the enemy - these tanks fight against assimilation (one mitzvah at a time)

I like the Lubavitchers. It is really good to see them here in Montreal, with all of this anti-Israel hatred that frequently morphs into anti-semitism.
