Over the last 33 years, the Telethon has helped Chabad forge a unique partnership with actors, musicians, athletes, civic leaders and corporate executives. Featuring star-studded lineups and the endearing “dancing rabbis,” the Telethons are special events that have proven consistently popular with audiences.

“Whether it’s a child who needs a nurturing education, a senior citizen who needs some companionship, or an addict who needs a second chance, there are so many members of our community who are in desperate need,” said Rabbi Shlomo Cunin, Head Shliach and Director of Chabad of the West Coast.

“Chabad has always been blessed by caring and compassionate supporters, and we want the Telethon to inspire them to come together to dance, to sing, and to reach out to those less fortunate.”
