For the first time ever 40 Sukkah Mobiles in the New York Metropolitan Area

The Sukkah Mobiles are dispersed all over Manhattan, Brooklyn and to Shluchim in surrounding areas. After many years of successful Parades on Chanukah and Yud Alef Nissan, the Mitzvah Tank Office has decided to undertake the Sukkah Mobile project as well. Many weeks of intense labor and planning went into this project as the Sukkahs were shipped from Israel. A warehouse was donated for a full month just to put together all the Sukkahs in advance. The pick-up trucks were picked up at 7 am Thursday morning and by 9 am they were on there way to Mivtzoim. The NYPD has done a tremendous job for arranging the parking for al the vehicles for the entire week.

The Sukkah Mobiles are used by day & night as they are dispatched to many Shluchim who have Simchas Beis Hashaeiva Parties. Every Sukkah Mobile is equipped with the Arba Minim, Holiday Guides, Mezonos & L’chaim. Hundreds of Bochurim & Anash are on these vehicles doing Mivtzoim the entire time.

More pictures in the extended article. Enjoy!

The Charlotte Observer

A spur-of-the-moment visit to Rabbi Menachem Schneerson's tomb brings unexpected and astonishing results

I make no apologies for my devotion to Chasidism, particularly to the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, with its tireless outreach and nonjudgmental welcome to Jews of all callings and backgrounds. Moreover, it asks nothing in return.

Do I agree with every point of the movement's theology and lifestyle? No, but enough to make me an adherent. In fact, we often joke about how a rabbi so seemingly atypical, in a decidedly un-Chabad town like Greenville, is so devoted to the work of Chabad. Hence my title, "Closet Lubavitcher"!
