The Venue
Oholei Torah’s 60th Gala Dinner will take place in the prestigious ballrooms of the Oholei Torah Center, formerly known as the
Brooklyn Jewish Center
www.brooklynjewishcenter.org.
Inaugurated in 1920, the ballrooms have hosted personalities of international acclaim, including Albert Einstein, Richard Tucker, Cantor Yossele Rosenblatt, Justice Louis D. Brandeis, Mark Rothko, Sholom Secunda, and Eleanor Roosevelt.
Today the Jewish Center exists as Oholei Torah Educational Institute, the flagship school of Chabad Lubavitch. Extensive renovations were made to restore the former glory of the Ballrooms which now host hundreds of events each year, including the annual International Conference of Chabad Emissaries, Chabad on Campus Shabbatons, and many community events and simchas.
Entertainment
Admired for his incredible range, Chief Cantor Yitzchak Meir Helfgot is beloved and revered as one of the greatest and most important cantorial voices of the 21st century.
He enthralls audiences the world over with his passion and unbounded joy in bringing sacred Jewish music and opera classics to life. Oholei Torah considers Cantor Helfgot a dear friend and we are honored to have him grace out Dinner Gala.
