Community members and bochurim gathered Thursday night at 770 Eastern Parkway to celebrate the arrival of a new Mitzvah Tank that is making its way to Eretz Yisroel.

The vehicle, Mitzvah Tank No. 22 of Chabad Mobile Centers in Eretz Yisroel, stopped outside 770 before beginning its mission on the roads of Israel. The occasion drew hundreds who came to participate in a spontaneous farbrengen and say L’chaim inside the newly outfitted tank.

Hosting the gathering was Rabbi David Nachshon, chairman of Chabad Mobile Centers and Tzivos Hashem in Eretz Yisroel, who celebrated the milestone together with those in attendance.

The new tank is the latest addition to the growing fleet of Mitzvah Tanks operating throughout Eretz Yisroel, bringing Yiddishkeit, Chassidus, and the Rebbe’s mivtzoim to cities, towns, and communities across the country.

Participants expressed hopes that the new tank will help further expand the Rebbe’s shlichus and hasten the fulfillment of the mission of preparing the world to greet Moshiach.

The gathering concluded with spirited singing and L’chaim as the new Mitzvah Tank prepared to continue its journey to Eretz Yisroel, where it will soon join the fleet already active throughout the country.
