Sixty teens from the Brighton Beach area spent part of their winter vacation snow tubing in the Pocono mountains. The public school teens belong to the Chabad-Neshama Teen Club, which organized the trip offering the teens an opportunity to celebrate the holiday season in a totally Jewish atmosphere.
“This is the first time in my life that I lit Chanukah candles, it was super!” said Boris Mazoranski of the Menorah lighting he took part in, with dozens of his friends. The experience was a positive one for the teens, and many committed themselves to becoming more involved in Jewish celebrations in the future.
Over one hundred Jewish teens belong to the club, the biggest Jewish outreach effort to unaffiliated teens in Brooklyn. The youth are encouraged to take pride in being Jewish, and participate in a variety of recreational and educational programs thought the year. The Teen Club is one of the many programs of Chabad Lubavitch of W Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach.
