Hundreds Don Tefillin at Israel Day Parade
NEW YORK, NY [CHI] — Sunday, close to a million Jews from the Tri State Area took part in the annual Salute to Israel parade in Manhattan. This event has been dubbed as the “biggest Jewish event of the year”, There was a record high attendance this year.
Fifth Avenue was closed off to traffic to allow tens of thousands of children from Jewish schools march in an expression of Jewish pride.

Bochurimm were there on Mivtza Tefilin and managed to put Tefilin on hundreds of people.
On 5th and 79th there was a Mitzva Tank stationed and manned by 2 Bochurimm. There was also a Tefilin booth near the exit of Central Park on 72nd St that turned into a shul where minyanim for Mincha were arranged every few minutes.

Just for the record. Before Gimmel Tammuz it was forbidden to go to this parade, in spite of the potential to put on Tefilin with thousands of Jews.
Rabbi Hodakov never allowed it. Even when there was a group of Yungelait that went weekly on a Tank to Manhattan, were not allowed to go to this parade. Every year we tried to ask again and we were told not to go.
The only thing that was allowed was to go to a street corner several blocks away by a Subway station and meet the comers and goers from and to the parade.
I don’t know who changed the rules, but many things have changed lately…

It is certainly sad to see how many of our Jewish brethren has fallen to the bait of saluting this oh so ”Jewish” state in the Middle East, which is more or less the twin of the apartheid state South Africa once was. Shame on you.
