The Chidon Live finale event took place on Thursday, with thousands of chayolim, family, and friends from around the world tuning into the International Sara Rohr Siyum Hamitzvos Event.
Girls from around the world celebrated at the Chidon Grand Finale with an exciting game show and award ceremony.
The event culminated the months of dedicated learning for which these middle schoolers devoted their free time, studying an intensive curriculum on the facts, details, and reasons behind all 613 Mitzvos.
More than 300 participating schools in 40 countries and numerous cities around the globe sent representatives to showcase the in-depth Torah learning and knowledge that the students have acquired.
The event was broadcast live on Thursday, and over 20,000 viewers tuned in to watch.
Some of Chabad’s biggest names in Jewish music joined the performance, making it a premier event on the community calendar. Benny Friedman and Eli Marcus, accompanied by M.C. Chony Milecki and show host Rabbi Yehoshua Lustig, provided meaningful entertainment to viewers in-person and online.
