With 25 Mitzvah Tanks and around 130 Menorah Toped Cars, they made their way on Motzoai Shabbos from 770 over the Manhatten Bridge and into Manhattan right across 6th Ave. all the way to 59th St. were the Menorah stands, and then back around and down 5th Ave, while spreading the message of Chanukah to all the thousands of people in Manhattan there to celebrate the new year. A parade of light.
After the parade the Tanks, loaded with Menorah’s and Chanukah guides, fanned out across the midtown area around Grand Central Terminal and nearby Times Square where the message of Chanukah had reached thousands upon thousands of people, Menorahs and Guides were flying out “Un A Shiur”.
A special thanks goes to the people at the Mitzvah Tank Office who arranged the Police [Highway Division] escort as well as parking for the tanks, and to the Lubavitch Youth Organization.

to ‘admirer’; thanks alot but I’m not one who deserves any credit here and I don’t think Emanuel was involved in the parade either, although I should’nt realy speak on behalf of others.
There is a new younger force which directed the parade and I must say they did a phenominal job.

i really shouldn’t be speaking on behalf of others, but i would think mordy hirsch deserves at least a tiny bit of credit…

‘anonymous 3’ you are correct, in addition to what Shmuli wrote, rabbis Mordy Hirsh and Moshe Schmukler do continue to run this opperation in the most amaizing way.
Yasher Koach to them and all of their wonderful staff.
