In a powerful display of Jewish resilience, eight thousand Jewish teens filled Nassau Coliseum for the closing ceremony of the 18th annual CTeen International Shabbaton, showcasing stories of a generation turning to Judaism’s timeless teachings for strength and refusing to back down in the face of adversity.
This month, lots of important dates came and went. Yud Shevat. The Kinus. Chof Beis Shevat. While Crown Heights floundered in snow, over 9,600 Yidden seamlessly traveled to and from the Ohel. How?
Hours after 4,578 Jewish teenagers from 60 countries filled Nassau Coliseum for CTeen’s closing event, nearly 1,500 of them find themselves stranded in New York after a winter storm cancelled flights across the East Coast.
