The annual Chabad telethon, which aired Sunday, September 9, raised $7.2 million for educational and social services for the needy. “The gates of heaven were open, and there was a tremendous outpouring of love for Chabad,” said Rabbi Chaim Cunin, CEO of Chabad of California.
“The timeliness before Rosh Hashanah is so meaningful.” The fundraiser was hosted by comedian Elon Gold and featured such celebrity guests as Jon Voight, Mare Winningham, Elliott Gould and Dennis Prager.
A message from our Publisher & CEO Rachel Fishman Feddersen
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
