‘Farbengan Retreat’ Offers Hope and Growth for Struggling Teens

In a world increasingly shaped by screens, substances, and instant gratification, many parents are seeking meaningful solutions for their teenage sons who are struggling to stay connected to Yiddishkeit and a healthy lifestyle. The Farbengan Retreat is answering that call — not with lectures, but with life-changing experiences, deep relationships, and a safe, uplifting environment designed specifically for Jewish boys facing challenges like phone addiction, nicotine and weed use, and spiritual disconnection.

At The Farbengan Retreat, we recognize that today’s teens are fighting battles their parents never imagined. We will be providing a unique space where boys can step away from the noise and temptations of everyday life and rediscover who they are — as individuals, as Jews, and as future leaders. The layout will be chassidus and davening every morning, trips like jet skiing and bunji jumping every day, and farbrenging throughout.

Perhaps the most impactful aspect of the Farbengan Retreat is the deep, lasting relationships formed here. Between boys and staff, among peers, and with mentors who remain present long after the program ends, these bonds provide a foundation for continued growth and connection far beyond the retreat itself.

A Turning Point

This can be the moment they begin to believe in themselves again, reconnect with their Jewish values, and take ownership of their lives. For parents, it’s the beginning of restored hope.

The Farbengan Retreat is more than a retreat. It’s a reset. A spark. A second chance.
