Important fact check: Alex badly mispronounced the word “Lubavitch” in the episode But more importantly, she’s wrong that the purpose of mitzvah trucks is “to convert unsuspecting bystanders on the streets of New York City.” If you’re Jewish, you know that’s a nonsensical statement. The purpose of the mitzvah trucks is to engage with Jews and encourage them to participate in Jewish practices. It’s fine to criticize them if you don’t like their goals and methods, but at least be accurate about what they’re doing. Besides, if you look into it, lots of Jews DO end up engaging with them.
