This weekend, the largest ever CTeen Shabbaton will be taking place, with over 3,000 teens expected to visit Crown Heights for the event. Due to the large crowds, there are a few advisories CTeen Headquarters would like to notify the community about.
For those Davening at 770 on Friday night, please be aware that the entire Shul will be reserved for the teens, including the entire downstairs of 770 and the Kingston Ave women’s section.
The upstairs floor of 770, including the small zal and the Rebbe’s room, will also be closed from 4:15 until 6:00 PM.
On Sunday, thousands of teens will be visiting the Ohel from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM and again from 2:30 PM to 7:30 PM. If you plan on visiting the Ohel during these times, please expect larger than usual lines. We encourage you to plan accordingly and perhaps adjust your schedule if possible.
Furthermore, due to the large number of buses transporting the teens on Sunday, there may be some traffic congestion. Please be aware that on Sunday morning, buses will be leaving at 8:15 and 9:45 AM from President, Carrol, and Montgomery streets between Brooklyn and Troy Avenues.
CTeen HQ appreciates the support and participation of the Crown Heights community in making this special Shabbos a reality every year. We apologize for any inconvenience that may occur due to the large crowds and appreciate your understanding.
They should also be allowed to come into 770. I think it is truly beautiful that so many people came, but what kind of message are we sending?
We need to make our own classes and programs this appealing for the children growing up right under our nose.
Obviously care for the local teens, but he’d love some hakoras hatov and for the guests a chance for them to visit
Which frum girl is looking to associate at these types of events do they have nothing else to do?
Bring people up not bring them down!

Isnt aliya only for guys?
What does those mean that u70 is reserved for the guests????
There are mispallim every day and every shabbos, are they not allowed in… or it’s just that benches and seating areas are for the guests???
but what about us? what about our teens? no one cares about them. what about the hundreds of people who daven in 770 every shabbos? there’s no reason we have to keep being pushed aside every other week for people all from around the globe, while we ourselves dont get anything. I’m not saying we shouldn’t be doing these things, but some respect for the residents here would be nice. even tzedaka has its halachik limits. before running to help Janet from Montana, maybe consider helping a teen from Carrol street. just saying it wouldn’t hurt to pour some resources… Read more »
You have the zechus of sitting in 770 every week, these people might be here once in their life. youll still be able to get into 770, just give up your precious seat.
about the local teens, im sure theyre allowed in to. these kids chose to come to 770, and flew in for that. why so negative
Exactly, people who live in the Rebbes Shchuna should be able to give over “ you’re shul” for JUST ONE SHABBOS! The Rebbe talked for 42 YEARS to be there for another yid, and still in his Dalad Amos his Chassidim are talking this way?!
Chill. No ones stopping you from helping our teens, and besides this is only once a year. Take care of your own teens the other 364 days…
And do something
Open a Cteen chapter in Crown Heights.
I know it’s uncomfortable, but it’s time there be a shliach in Crown Heights. The level of yidishkeit in the Rebbe’s Shchuna is appalling and needs to change.
That being said, it’s not like these “troubled teens” are coming to 770 on Shabbos evening anyway that we’re pushing out. You just want to give negative feedback on an amazing peula that brings thousands of Yidden closer.
Grow up and appreciate the work being put into the Shabbaton.
I would be interested in doing this. Please respond if you would like to connect.
I couldn’t have said it better.
You should start something
If 770 was large enough, you’d be more than welcome. This is a practical step for safety. No one’s out to get you.

No offense but help is only needed by those want it. Unfortunately these teens on Carrol st don’t want the help the community would be willing to offer. It starts at home and ends at the school. 3 things are what moldes a person at a young age, school environment, home environment and most importantly the friends you surround yourself with. Instead of complaining about the lack of resources for this community either do something yourself or stop complaining when other organizations arranged such events for out-of-town people because all it makes you look like is someone who doesn’t want… Read more »
You missed the point – it is beautiful that so many teens are coming for one shabbos.
Why do you make it sound like it’s anyone else’s fault more than your own?! Cteen is a moisad geared for not frum teens, and they do amazing work. You may be right that it would be nice to have programs for our own teens, but that requires a totally different type of program. I don’t see why it suddenly becomes Cteens “fault”. If anything you are more to blame than them. what fault is it of a shliach from the other side of the country that teens in ch dont have programs? As a crown heightser you atr more… Read more »

Baruch HaShem. So special!
I have never been to 770 for Rosh hashana, Yom Kippur, Chanukah, etc. Bc it’s always filled with guests
770 should get to be reserved on a shabbos. You want a program there on a random weekday? Fine.
But on a day that most of crown heights spends there, it is not okay to block locals from entering. Make your friday night program elsewhere.
Mah tov chelkeinu that you get to spend every single shabbos there. You can squeeze in some teens for one Friday night once a year! Wow.
Appalling that you can’t let these teens spend one shabbos in 770.
So true!
Now is a good time to push the awesome movement. Expand 770!
All the complaints are about locals wondering “what about me” 770 belongs to all Lubavitch but just people living in CH. More so, if you cared so much for it, why do you let run to the ground by tzfati teenagers with anger issues? This has nothing to do with yechi/not yechi . I was in 770 for the kinus, and I saw how the tzfati teenagers (these guys appear to be 18/19) are yelling these amazing Shluchim kids that dream all year long about having one shabbos in 770 The tzfati guys were screaming “go home. You don’t belong… Read more »
It’s about time 770 was at least triple the size
all Shuls around the world expanding massively except for Chabad
?????????????????????
why
There are other guests that came in for shabbos too
What about them who wanted to spened time in 770 for the first time .
That’s not right. Poeple who came for shabbos
C teen is so beautiful ! Blown away by all the shlichus for doing this . But can I ask you all to please make sure your teens are not keeping up the entire neighborhood . There is insane yelling outside and singing right now. It’s 11:47 pm Kindly remind them they are on vacation but the rest of the community is not. We loving having guest but please let us sleep thank you so much . I think I’m speaking for many
Please be clear, sounds like there’s no davening Friday night for the community. That would be strange..
nobodys telling you that you cant daven, there tens of shuls in crown heights! this isn’t the only minyan in crown heights!
There are other shuls but 770 is the Rebbe’s shul
To those complaining that our own teens aren’t treated to inspiring davening in 770 etc and why are we doing shlichus for other kids: A. The cteen kids ARE our kids. We’re all brothers and sisters. B. I can’t tell you how many frum teens are inspired by cteens. It’s much easier to excite a crowd about yiddishkeit when it’s a fresh idea for them to discover. The result is that our teens watch and say hey if they find yiddishkeit so inspiring maybe I can discover that aspect too, maybe I shouldn’t abandon my inheritance after all. C. If… Read more »
1, For all those complaining no one is going to be turned away from 770 the organizers are just letting people know that CTeen will practically be taking up most of the space and people should be aware of that.
2, to all those saying what about are teens? Who’s stopping you from arranging for local teens to come to 770, practically they are not interested in coming
B’EMET
When are people going to stop thinking about themselves and start thinking about the kavanah?! Give up “your” 770 ( which doesn’t belong to any of the crown heightsers anyways ( and besides the point you can Daven upstairs, it’s also 770.. sorry for breaking the news to you)) one Friday night for another yid to bring him/her closer to Yiddishkeit.
Stop complaining about everything, these shluchim/shluchos give their live for the rebbe and the kavanah, the minimum we can do is let them bring their mekuravim to the rebbe.
All the negative people should be ashamed of themselves!!
CTeens is an amazing program, we should welcome these children with “ open arms”.
If 770 had been expanded as the Rebbe directed over 30 years ago, this discussion would not be taking place.
We must make the expansion a reality, now.
I can’t imagine that our dear Israeli brothers, especially the ones with the yellow flags will comply with this.
Unless you’re hiring top security and bouncers for crowd control.. Good luck
Its not about yes or no
We have to hold poeple responsible for not good choices they might have made
Call it a kitrug
Call it a lack of conciousness
Call it blindness
But expand 770 is purely polical
If you do research you might get really really angry
I welcome you to look deeper
Thimk deeper
Open your mind to understanding more things and if that conflicts with everything you thought before
I give you a bracha tha Hashem can give you the breakthroughs you need to see the truth
אין עוד מלבדו…. יחי המלך…
770 is the Chabad house of the world. crown heights is The lamplighter of the entire world. The Rebbe said that Moshiach is going to arrive and take everyone from Beis Rabbenu to yerusholayim. To residents of CH. thank you for all you do we can never do it without you. you’re living in the center of the world the lighthouse of the world. just down the Street is Park slope and the other neighborhoods, where if you chose to live there you could live a semi peaceful New York City Life. B protis you are there in crown heights… Read more »
Also close the shul on 19 kislev purim, Simcha Torah so all can come in
