“Chanukah’s universal message of light and hope can touch people of all faiths, and can reach around the world,” said Rabbi Boruch Shlomo Cunin, head of West Coast Chabad. “It’s an honor to celebrate the holiday with our Governor and our firefighters, and to be joined by some of our brave military personnel serving overseas. It will be a truly historic moment when we simultaneously illuminate the menorah candles in California, Iraq, and Afganistan, and spread Chanukah’s light across the globe.”
The program includes words from the Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger followed by menorah lighting, celebrity personalities such as Jon Voight and Elan Gold. All to be broadcasted over the ION Cable TV network which reaches over 90 million homes in the United States.
Pulling all this together takes lots of work and coordination, today Rabbi Chaim N. Cunin, Rabbi Ari Baitelman, Rabbi Yossi Solomon and Chaim Marcus met with the director of the show, Riche Namm along with Derek Levysohn and David Erskin, who met to put the final touches on Thursdays show.

This is wonderful. I came upon the broadcast while channel surfing here in mid-Michigan, then stopped to enjoy the show. I enjoyed learning more about Chanukah (I live in a predominantly Christian community) and felt very pleased knowing that people around the nation could watch, too. Love and light to you all.
