Over 500 Jewish teens from across the world will join together on February 8-10, 2013, at the annual international Teen Shabbaton for a weekend of fun, excitement, Jewish pride and inspiration in New York City. Teens will meet other Jewish teens from all over the world and create friendships that last a lifetime!
The Shabbaton will start off on Friday morning, as the teens will go on a grand tour in Manhattan, experiencing the city in VIP style, after which they will make their way to Brooklyn for a unity Shabbat. Saturday night, teens will go to Times Square for a grand havdallah ceremony! Sunday morning there is a Jewish heritage tour where teens visit a hand-made matzah bakery, a Jewish scribe, Judaica stores and more. The weekend ends with a leadership banquet and fairwell.
This year’s featured guest is Sport’s Illustrator “Jewish Jordan,” Tamir Goodman, who will share his story, “Hoops of Hope: A story of passion, faith, and rebounds.”
Teens will be traveling together as a group from Merrick on Friday morning and the trip will be chaperoned by Chabad staff. The teens will be staying at select host families in Crown Heights, Brooklyn who are known for their hospitality and warmth.
For more information regarding the NY CTeen Shabbaton or to register, you can contact Chana at 516-833-3057 or at chabadjewishlife.org/cteen or on Facebook at CTeen Merrick-Bellmore.

Bless you, Anthony. And though I know ultimately the "Judge" will have to be held…Read More accountable by a higher authority...those of us who do this work, have not forgotten nor will we allow the system to forget what her role in this travesity was.

Thank you for this wonderful article on a good man pushed to the brink. I appriciate the fact this…Read More came form the heart and did not hold back. As Sacristan at Cure of Ars, I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Rich (as I called him) for some time. He was a man of faith and a pleasure to see. Always with a smile and kind word, you would never know what was going on the way he acted. This was a wonderful and insightful article. It is heartbreaking to think that where there was once love between 2 people, things got to the point where one persons life was destroyed by those who could and did for no apparent reason other than having the ability to do so. God will have mercy on Dr. Rich and the ex-wife and "Judge" should pray for the same given their actions.
