CTeen is the teen-focused arm of the Chabad movement, operated by Merkos L'Inyonei Chinuch which has over 100,000 members worldwide with 600 chapters in thirty seven countries, and has been called “the fastest growing and most diverse Jewish youth organization in the world”. Cteen was launched by Rabbi Mendy Kotlarsky of Merkos Suite 302 in 2010 and operates all over the world in cities like Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Leeds, Munich, Buenos Aires and New York. Cteen is open to all Jewish teens regardless of affiliation.
Programs
Cteen’s various programs include:
- Suicide Alert workshop, which aims to to equip teens for assisting their peers dealing with anxiety and depression during COVID-19. These workshops have been organized by Cteen chapters in Florida, New Hampshire and New Jersey, among others, in partnership with the Gelt Charitable Foundation.
- Cteen XTREME, a summer travel camp where campers challenge themselves both physically and spiritually by partaking in extreme sports, observing a completely tech-free Shabbat, and keeping kosher on the road.
- Heritage Quest, which aims to deepen the connection of Jewish teens to their heritage through educational trips to Poland and Israel, offering teens the chance to explore their roots at the source.
- Kosher Food Club, a co-curricular high school club facilitated by CTeen chapters and operating in over fifty high schools throughout the United States, serves as a humanitarian initiative by promoting healthy lifestyles and feeding the homeless, as well as providing educational and hands-on experiences of traditional Jewish foods.
- Cteen International Shabbaton is an annual inspirational weekend bringing together thousands of teens from around the world. The program includes a traditional Shabbat experience in the heart of Hasidic Crown Heights,; a Torah completion ceremony in Times Square; and the CTeen Choice Awards at Brooklyn's Pier 12. The jam-packed weekend includes a Saturday night concert in Times Square with guest performances by singers like Gad Elbaz, Yakov Shwekey and American Hasidic rapper Nissim Black.
- National Campus Office — coordinator of Chabad on Campus, a network of Jewish Student Centers on more than 230 university campuses worldwide (as of April 2016), as well as regional Chabad-Lubavitch centers at an additional 150 universities worldwide
- The Shluchim Office — coordinator of Chabad's worldwide shaliach program
Roving Rabbis
One of the best known divisions is the Merkos Shlichus campaign, which dispatches pairs of young rabbinical students, colloquially known as Roving Rabbis, to small and isolated Jewish communities around the world. Hundreds of rabbinical students participate in Passover and summer visitation programs, building Jewish awareness and spreading Torah knowledge. To date, the program has sent students to more than 150 countries.
The Rabbinical Student Visitation Program began in 1943, when Rabbi Schneerson dispatched the first pairs of students to ten cities in Upstate New York. Cities in California were added to the program in 1944, as were cities in the Southern United States in 1945. By 1948, the summer program numbered 20 students and 100 American cities. Students were also sent to Jewish farmers residing throughout the Northeastern United States, many of whom were European immigrants. The students were sent in pairs, usually one American student and one European-immigrant student.
In the early 1950s, the Rebbe added international destinations to the summer program, personally consulting maps and planning the itineraries.
Currently, 400 Roving Rabbis participate in the annual summer program. They distribute thousands of mezuzot, other religious articles such as tefillin and kosher food, and tens of thousands of Jewish information packets each year.
The students interact with both individuals and families. They often go door to door, teaching women how to light Shabbat candles and showing men how to put on tefillin for the first time. They speak about Jewish education, answer questions, and give bar mitzvah lessons.
Their visits are often anticipated by the local population. On their 2010 swing through the islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao, for example, the two Roving Rabbis were summoned to the office of Aruba Prime Minister Mike Eman, who is Jewish. Eman spoke with them about Jewish heritage, listened as they blew the shofar (it was the Hebrew month of Elul, when the shofar is blown daily in synagogues), and donned a pair of tefillin. After completing their visit to the islands, the students returned to the Prime Minister's office so he could put on tefillin again, and he asked them to arrange for him to have his own pair of tefillin.
The Roving Rabbis share their experiences and communicate with each other on their own blog site.
