The Time Of Your Redemption Has Arrived
Here's something you don't see everyday.

A long line of RVs with Jews staring out the windows.
In fact, you don't just not see that everyday. You could easily go your entire life and never see that. So what the hell was going on?

A MITZVAH TANK PARADE!
Which, of course, begs the question - What's a MITZVAH TANK?

Duh. There must have been at least sixty of these MITZVAH TANKS barreling down Sixth Avenue this afternoon. They were running red lights, blocking traffic - even pedestrians couldn't cross. And the denizens of Chelsea were not having it - horns here honking, sirens were blaring, people were yelling, the RVs were blasting some kind of unrecognizable music from their tinny speakers. It was pure chaos.
At one point, after we'd been waiting for at least three or four minutes to get a chance to cross the street, an older lady on an electric scooter in front of me turned back and said, "Feh! This isn't a MITZVAH PARADE, it's a CHUTZPAH PARADE."
Zing!
But before we even hardly had time to laugh...they were gone.

Goodbye Camping Jews! We hardly knew ye!
