CTeen Shabbaton was honestly one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had as a Jewish teen. Not only was New York City unlike anything I’ve seen before, but the culture made it especially memorable. And don’t even get me started on Rabbi Avremi— even on the brink of a snowstorm, with the risk of flights being canceled, he stayed calm, cool, and collected. He created some of the most unforgettable moments of the trip and truly gave it its spark. In the end, CTeen Shabbaton reminded me how special it is to be part of such an amazing community.
