CTeenConnection

We are living history. We are experiencing life during the worldwide Pandemic of COVID-19. While times are challenging, it is crucial to remain hopeful and to keep ourselves occupied. Among other activities, I have spent a great deal of time on CTeen Channel. CTeen Channel features many live stream talks presented by Rabbis and Rebbetzins, with many guest speakers. Each talk focuses on a different topic, primarily related to the current situation we are all facing. The goal of CTeen Channel is to spread positivity and light in times of darkness. 

I had the honor of being featured in one of the first talks on CTeen Channel. At first, I was very anxious because I knew a lot of teens were watching. However, once I thought about it, I realized this was a great opportunity to reassure teens of our situation and make them smile. I had a lot of fun preparing my lines and practicing how I was going to deliver my speech. I also loved re-watching my speech on TV with my family, who were extremely proud of me! Overall, I was so happy to take part in a special video for CTeen Channel and I hope I was able to connect with teens across the world.

There are two ways to access CTeen Channel to stay updated with the latest videos. Tune into CTeen’s Youtube page, Cteener, or CTeen Channel’s website, https://www.cteen.com/cteenchannel. I highly recommend tuning in and gaining some inspiration and hope in times of crisis!
