- Find A Mitzvah Tank Near You Friday Schedule
About
In 1974, a new apparition began to make its appearance in the streets of Manhattan. Even in that hubbub of crowd and clamor, this strange vehicle attracted attention.
It was a standard van of the “U-Haul” or “Ryder” variety. It’s back door was rolled up, showing a cargo of one large wooden table, two wooden benches, and a dozen young men with beards and black hats. From a loudspeaker taped to its roof issued forth a medley of Chassidic songs played on high volume—that is, high enough to make itself heard above the din of a Manhattan street corner. Large posters taped to the sides of the moving van proclaimed: “MITZVAH TANK”, “Teffilin on board” and “Mitzvot On The Spot For People On The Go.”

Daily Thought
In
the non-physical world of emotions, ideas, and the soul, many things can
overlap in time and space.
But
a physical world is a place where each thing says, “In my space, nothing else
can be.”
When
a human being doesn’t allow the spiritual light of his soul to shine, he too
becomes a physical object. So he says, “You are taking up my space.”
How
large is the space of a human being? As much as he can grab and more. We’re all
reproductions of Adam, and there was only one of him occupying the entire
world.
But
when a human being rises a little higher, a little more spiritual, a little
more sensitive to a world beyond him, then he says, “Let’s share this space.
There’s room here for all of us.” Maamar Issa B’Zohar...
