Chabad Telethon is just about the biggest extravaganza—maybe outside Burning Man—on the Jewish calendar. Rabbi Chaim Cunin has remarkable pull, as did his father, and participants have included Martin Sheen, Adam Sandler, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bob Dylan. Last year they raised $7.2 million.
If you live in Los Angeles, you’ve no doubt seen the banners hanging everywhere or that truck parked on a bridge over the 10 Freeway. The telethon returns this Sunday and Ethan just called to let me know that Vic the Brick had mentioned on sports talk radio’s “Loose Canons” that he’d be there.
This led me to the Chabad Telethon web site to see what other celebs have confirmed. Nobody confirms, and the only I could find was Jordan Farmar, fresh from Israel, Jon Voigt, a regular, and this photo of Vic.
