NYC: The Mitzvah Tank

 Apparently, Mitzvah Tanks are a thing in New York... since the 1970s.  Who knew?  Not this native New Yorker.  Apparently they are commonly used around NYC as a way for the Orthodox Jewish community to do outreach to the larger Jewish community.  They are used as "mini synagogue", which apparently can be shortened to simply a "minagogue".  I spotted this one on Fifth Avenue right across the street from the Plaza Hotel and Central Park.  Well, by spotted it, it was hard to miss as it had speakers that were loudly playing traditional Jewish music.
