CTeen made history tonight with a inspirational Siyum Sefer Torah and concert in Times Square.
The moving and emotional havdalah was hosted by Yoni Z, with a special performance by Jewish Rapper Nissim Black, and surprise guest, superstar Gad Elbaz. The highlight of the event included a Siyum Sefer Torah, with Torah letters dedicated to CTeen shluchim, teens, as wells as the survivors of the Parkland shooting.
“The energy was palpable,” shared Sarah Salles of Cooper City, Florida. “Our lives were so closely affected by the shooting; knowing that we have our CTeen family to turn to in times like these makes all the difference.”
“I’ve never experience anything like this in my life!” shared Aby Singer, teen leader from Panama City, who was chosen to lead the crowd of over three thousand people in singing Shema Yisroel. “The energy was palpable.”
“Tonight’s event was a Kiddush Hashem and a Kiddush Lubavitch,” shared Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, CTeen’s Chairman, who filled in the last letter of the Sefer Torah. “Tonight, CTeen took their outreach to a new level, and we expect it to continue growing from here.”
Can’t imagine the nachas the Rebbe has from this.
Amazing gaon yaakov! Kiddush Lubavitch!
Much continued hatzlacha in your work and bringing these teens back home!
Shimon and Leah Rivkin: I have no words…
Whatever I would say would not be enough!
Ka’H! May you be bentched to continue this great work and continue transcending the tide! Much Hatzlocha in your future endeavors!
