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.

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.”

The same G‑d who transcends all time and space
is the same G‑d manifest in all the forces and fields of physics.
The same G‑d from whom all existence emerges
is the same G‑d who conceals that truth from every conscious being, providing
space for each one to be that which it is.
The same G‑d from whom all life extends is the
same G‑d who restrains that energy, with kindness, so that finite creatures can
exist, to the tiniest worm hiding in the bowels of the earth.
And when you know all this, and you
