Rabbi Tzemach Cunin, the Shliach who led of Chabad of Century City in Los Angeles, California, was known for his warm and embracing demeanor which encouraged many to do a Mitzvah.
Until his sudden passing at the age of 43, Rabbi Cunin would constantly have a pair of Tefillin handy to offer it to others and ready to assist anyone in need.
He was also focused on Mitzvos on a grand scale, planning large projects such as community events and campaigns, and building of Beis Chaya Mushka, the Chabad school for girls in Los Angeles.
To mark his first yartzeit on the 2nd of Tammuz, his parents, in-laws, wife and children, siblings, nieces, nephews and friends filmed a short clip asking the public to do an extra Mitzvah in his memory. They called it a “Tzemach Moment.”

Tzemach developed a close relationship with Peter Max and ended up conducting his father’s funeral and becoming Peter’s confidant and friend. Tzemach asked Peter to take on the holy project of sharing the Rebbe’s image with the world. It tool Tzemach many years and revisions… Read more »
