It was an amazing experience to participate in the grand finale of the CTEEN Shabbaton in NYC with our amazing group of teens from Sudbury!
Watching thousands of teens from all over the world celebrate Jewish joy and pride, along with three hostages getting up on stage and sharing their powerful stories and messages, and hearing Leibel Lazaroff who was severely injured in Sydney, get up with the teens from Sydney and lead the Nassau Coliseum in song was truly amazing!
נעם בוסקילה Noam Buskila aa famous singer from the IDF and Nissim Black helped make the energy in the room be sky high!
And thank G-d we get got back before the blizzard!
On Saturday Night, the thousands of teens enjoyed Havdallah and a concert in Times Square, and a Shabbat full of energy, workshops, meaningful moments and connections with thousands of teens from around the world.
