Hundreds of students from Lubavitch Yeshiva in Crown Heights gathered for a viewing of the Chidon finale, followed by a trophy and award ceremony for the participants. Prizes, plaques, and trophies were awarded amid great fanfare by Menahel Rabbi Yosef Simpson, Principal Rabbi Yosef Wolf, and the school’s Tzivos Hashem director Rabbi Yossi Teleshevsky.
The grand Chidon finale was the culmination of many months of studying a dedicated curriculum that focuses on the facts, information and reasons behind all 613 Mitzvahs.
During the live broadcast, teams of finalists competed for the highly sought-after Chidon champion title.
Some of the biggest stars in Jewish music today have joined the performance to make it one of the premier events on the community calendar. Avraham Fried, Benny Friedman, Bentzi, Eli and Shmuli Marcus and Simche Friedman will be accompanied by show host Choni Milecki and the Mendy Hershkowitz orchestra, to entertain the 250,000+ on-line viewers.
More than 300 participating schools in 34 countries and numerous cities around the globe have sent representatives to showcase the in-depth Torah learning and knowledge the students have acquired.
Chidon / Siyum Hamitzvos is a project of Tzivos Hashem and Merkos L’inyonei Chinuch. The Chidon is dedicated by Mr. George Rohr in loving memory of Mrs. Sara Rohr.
