We are off!!! CTeen Houston will be well represented at the CTeen International Shabbaton with 2500 representatives from around the world! This years highlights include havdalah—a ceremony which separates the day of Shabbat from the working week—with Jewish rapper Nissim Black, and a grand banquet at Brooklyn’s Pier 12. Additionally, CTeen is also taking part in the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s Torah campaign; all participants will be encouraged to participate in having their own letter written in a Unity Torah, which will be completed in Israel.
