Over 1000 Lubavitch young men and Yeshiva students walked on Shvi’i Shel Pesach to over 180 synagogues in the New York City area.
Locations included Borough Park, Flatbush, Brighton Beach, Sea Gate, Bensonhurst, Sheepshead Bay, Canarsie, Mill Basin, Howard Beach, Greenpoint, Brooklyn Heights and Manhattan.
At each location, they inspired on even greater Simchas Yom Tov and spoke about the Baal Shem Tov’s custom to hold a meal for Moshiach on the last day of the Pesach holiday.
Known in Chabad as Tahalucha, the Rebbe established the walk years ago and stood in front of Lubavitch World Headquarters in 770 Eastern Parkway to watch them leave together while singing and humming.
Speaking of the Tahalucha, the Rebbe said: “This matter is my own.” Upon another occasion, the Rebbe said, “I envy all those who went [on the Tahalucha].”
“Whoever saw the Tahaluchos leave felt like this is a march of soldiers abiding the command of the Commander in chief,” said Rabbi Shmuel Butman, Director of Lubavitch Youth Organization.
The Tahalucha was organized by Rabbi Yossi Butman with the help of Rabbi Yosef Goldwasser, Shmuley Butler, and Avremi Raichick.
The Lubavitch Youth Organization is particularly thankful to the NYPD for all their efforts and protection. “They are a pleasure to work with,” said Rabbi Yossi Butman.
