CTeen, our local chapter of the international Chabad teen organization for high school students, meets monthly for various activities designed by teens, for teens! With a mix of educational, social and philanthropic activities, we help teens feel that they are part of a community of peers that nurtures their Jewish identity and practice.
Follow us on Instagram at @cteenkw, and message Rabbi Goldman to be added to the CTeen local whatsapp chat.
