The Chidon school representatives are some of the highest achievers in the world.
While the Chidon has become very inclusive with many different tracks to cater to all types of children, to become a school representative is an extraordinary achievement. Anyone who has watched our game shows can attest to the expertise of the school representatives. Over 1000 children work in overdrive to compete for these spots on stage.
Last year, the average to become a school representative was 70%. This year, only the top scores in each grade with at least an 85% average qualified as school representatives.
“However, the challenge was so great that most school representatives had to earn a score of over 90% and in some grades, a 95% average to earn their spot,” says Chidon Director Rabbi Shmuel Bronstein. “And there were many hundreds of chayolim just behind them, sometimes missing the spot by just a fraction of a point.”
In addition to school representatives, there are the Kol Hatorah Kulah contestants. These superstars will be in the Rapid Response Round on the game show. They are asked questions on all 613 mitzvos with a second to respond. “It’s not good enough just to know the information,” say judges Rabbi Levi and Yosef Zirkind. “It needs to be on the tip of your tongue.”
“Making it to the stage is a huge accomplishment,” says Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, vice chairman of Merkos L’inyonei Chinuch. “But in truth, every one of the 5000 chayolim are truly stars as they have mastered Hashem’s mitzvos. This will stand them in good stead to keep the Rebbe’s Takona of Limmud Ha’Rambam.”
The Chidon is brought to you by Merkos L’inyonei Chinuch and Tzivos Hashem Headquarters. The Chidon is dedicated by Mr. George Rohr in honor of his mother Sara (Charlotte) Rohr and the Tzivos Hashem Partners Association.
