Ceramic plate by the artist Yaakov Agam With a special dedication to "Chabad Talton" New Year's Eve 1984
An artistic Judaica ceramic plate was made by the artist Yaakov Agam
Made and dedicated especially for "Chabad Talton" on the eve of Rosh Hashanah 1984
"Chabad Telethon" is a television fundraising event that takes place in the USA every year by the World Chabad Organization since 1980 and is attended by many famous actors, celebrities and public figures.
The first Telethon aired in 1980 after tragedy had struck Chabad. A devastating fire swept through the organization's headquarters in Westwood, destroying the Chabad House and claiming the lives of three young men.
To help recover from the disaster, a special event was planned: a live, televised fundraiser featuring actors, musicians, community leaders, and concerned citizens.
Joined by the rabbis of Chabad, the guests would ask for community support to help the organization rebuild.
Hosted by actor Carroll O'Connor and comedian Jan Murray, the Telethon was an instant hit. It received such an overwhelming viewer response that the one-time event became an annual tradition and now serves as Chabad's biggest fundraiser each year. And the image of the dancing rabbi--symbolic of the happiness felt when people perform good deeds--has become a pop culture icon.
Among the participants in the event over the years are:
Benjamin Netanyahu
Basketball player Karim Abdul Jaber
Cast members of the successful series "Friends"
The singer "Matisyahu"
Singer Bob Dylan
And many other celebrities and public figures.
