My Joy Ride on the Mitzvah Tank

by Brandon Stanton – Humans of New York

I received an email last week from Miryam, one of Humans of New York’s Orthodox Jewish fans. She informed me that the Chabad Jews would be having a “car menorah” parade on December 22nd. The Chabad Jews are known to New Yorkers as “the Crown Heights Jews.” Other synonyms include “the friendly Jews” and the “laid-back Jews.” They stand in contrast to their nearby brethren the ”Williamsburg Jews”– who are wonderful people I’m sure, but who lean towards Gentilephobia and can be a bit intimidating.
