PAST EVENTS
GALLERY & TESTIMONIALS
The CYP Shabbaton in Crown Heights exceeded all of my expectations. It was inspiring to spend Shabbat with a Jewish community that is so hospitable and has so much passion for Judaism. The incredible social events and thought-provoking discussions allowed me to connect on both an emotional and intellectual level. By the end of the Shabbaton, the young Jewish professionals from around the world that attended felt like friends I’ve known for a long time. I’ve left feeling spiritually recharged and with a strong love of God, our traditions and people.

The whole CYP Encounter weekend was amazing. From arriving and having Friday night Shabbat services and dinner to the Saturday morning talks to the tours and Ohel, it was all amazing. It was my first time doing a national event like this with Chabad and I would definitely do it again in a heartbeat. The varying backgrounds of people I was able to meet to just experiencing crown heights and the culture in such a small area, it was a perfect weekend.

My personal experience at the Encounter was life-changing. Coming from a place where the Shabbat Experience and Jewish Life is not common, made it really special. With all my homestead surroundings, it has been difficult to know that there are places with Kosher restaurants and people who celebrate Shabbat. I have been inspired to keep Kosher. I know it is a challenge in my territory but the Kosher Diet is what I want.
