CTeen Leaders Star in CTeen’s “Live the Life” Music Video

CTeen’s new music video titled “Live the Life” tells the story of a teen trying to find his footing in a world that feels blurry and overwhelming, until he discovers the Torah, which brings clarity, color, and a sense of where he truly belongs.

Filmed in NYC, Jerusalem, Paris, Santa Monica, and Los Angeles, each scene reinforces the same idea: when Torah is your guide, you don’t just get through life. You live it.

The music video premiered at the 18th International CTeen Shabbaton, the largest gathering of Jewish teens, underscoring the theme of the weekend.

This production came to life thanks to the global creative team:
