The smiling faces of thousands of teenagers were seen throughout the streets of New York City as participants in the 14th annual CTeen Shabbaton enjoyed 17 different tracks of activities including sightseeing, “the edge,” tours of Crown Heights, the wax museum and an epic scavenger hunt throughout the entire city.
“As part of our adventure we met some successful Jewish businessmen. We asked them their advice on being a proud Jew in the workplace,” said Ethan Benenson from CT Hunterdon County, who is jotting down his experiences throughout the Shabbaton. “He told us ‘stick to your own values, stay true to yourself and do what you know is right,’ a response that truly fits our Shabbaton theme.”
