Cunin to Dance 6 Hours

Rabbi Yossi Cunin is hoping to set a record for the longest televised Chasidic dance at the 6 hour-long Chabad Telethon. "I've been running and cycling to get my heart rate up," he told KTLA 5 Morning news in Los Angeles. Video

Rabbi cunin
September 8, 2009 11:57 pm

the head shliach of Cali rox!!

To the Nay Sayers, The Rebbe would surely approve.
September 8, 2009 11:36 pm

I do not doubt the Rebbe would have Nachas from the show. It brings people to do the greatest Mitzvah of all, Tzedaka. Does a shliach need to sit 6 hours on the phone to raise funds the only way to do his shlichus or can he also do it through dancing? Which is a Mitzvah of “ivdu es hashem besimcha”. Use your right eye when you judge people.

are these dancers for hire
September 8, 2009 10:51 pm

What’s Your Duch I surfed the world wide net 2 hours everyday checked every website posted comments and thru this was mashpia on people and made this world ready for Moshiach???????

to #12
September 8, 2009 11:28 am

so you think this shliach dances all day and all night 24/7? na I m sure you know better than that. This is just one of the many ways to get frei ppl into the spirit of yiddishkeit, just in case you were unfamiliar what shluchim do.
And # 8, your definately a snag :-

negative ones
September 8, 2009 11:11 am

What kind of chossid always finds something negative in everything that people do?If they raise money and put it to good use and help others, then who are you to say they should be sitting?There are many ways to achieve things and maybe this is a kiddush Hashem for many reasons.The judgmental negative chossid is the one we should admire here?

pathetic
September 8, 2009 10:58 am

what they have to do to get attention.
this is shlichus? its all propoganda. empty nothing to make big impressions.
bla

-niggunim
September 8, 2009 10:47 am

He will be dancing 6 hours straight to niggunim that in itself is a form of connecting one to the aibershter. Its also to raise money for a good cause and im sure its a kiddush hashem.

Go Cunins!
September 8, 2009 10:07 am

Whether you would like to admit it or not, the fact is that the telethon is a huge Kiddush Hashem and reaches Jews (and gentiles) all around. People who would never walk into a Chabad House are familiar with the telethon and it brings an awareness of Chabad activities. Keep up the Chabad spirit!

Sholom
September 8, 2009 9:46 am

the shpula zaide trained an entire night with eliyahu hanavi.

Dancing expresses joy (simcha) which is what chassidus is all about. Dancing at the telethon brings smiles and joy to all those who watch and inspires all with a lively spirit which is what is needed to serve hashem properly.

by now it has become a great perk that can be used for advertising what chabad is and does.

this is a perfect example of “shtus d’kedusha”.

unimpressed
September 8, 2009 9:18 am

so what? i dance 6 hours straight by a chassuna

Whos shoe fell off?
September 8, 2009 9:00 am
Amazing
September 8, 2009 8:08 am

Go Rabbi Cunun! you are doing a great job!!! keep up the great work. Such a Kiddush Hashem

Such Chevremen
September 8, 2009 6:47 am
The rebbe asked for the telethon
September 8, 2009 5:25 am

The Rebbe told Rabbi Cunin to make the telethon, great work!

Bobby Pins Guys!!! Can’t jump around all day trying to hold onto your beanies. One guy has red silk lining, the other wears light brown pants – can’t the dress be conformed? Seems like each guy wants to be cooler than the other.

funny but ridiclus

6 hours of Dancing
September 8, 2009 2:32 am

Can you imagine a Shliach writing a Duch tzum Rebbe “I am training to dance 6 hours straight for the telethon!” I run through Canyons and streets to get my heart rate up”

Maybe the Rebbe loved this kind of Shlichus … please help me out here. What happened to a marathon of Miztvahs?One thing I know for sure … the Shpoler Zaide didn’t have to train!

haha
September 8, 2009 2:01 am

hahah that guys shoe fell off 😛 lol go chabad telethon!!!!!!! 🙂

Go Engelson Brothers!!!

September 8, 2009 12:20 am

nice!

Busha
September 8, 2009 12:16 am

This is a busha and charpa that this is what Lubavitcher bochurim are doing instead of sitting and learning like the Chassidus and the Rebbe would want. how low have we become and we don’t even realize it.

ughh
September 8, 2009 12:14 am

this is dreadful

Keep Up the great work!
September 8, 2009 12:05 am
