PSA: Due to the large crowds expected this Shabbos in Crown Heights, the organizers of the Cteen Shabbaton would like to notify the Crown Heights community of a few important things.
This weekend, the 16th annual CTeen Shabbaton will be taking place, with over 3,000 teens expected to visit Crown Heights for the inspiring weekend. Due to the large crowds, there are a few advisories CTeen Headquarters at Merkos 302 would like to notify the local community about.
For those Davening at 770 on Friday night, please be aware that the entire Shul will be reserved for the teens, including the entire downstairs of 770 and the Kingston Ave women’s section.
The upstairs floor of 770, including the small zal and the Rebbe’s room, will also be closed from 4:15 PM until 6:00 PM.
On Sunday, thousands of teens will be visiting the Ohel from 8:45 AM to 11:00 AM and again from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM. If you plan on visiting the Ohel during these times, please expect larger than usual lines. We encourage you to plan accordingly and perhaps adjust your schedule if possible.
Furthermore, due to the large number of buses transporting the teens on Sunday, there may be some traffic congestion. Please be aware that on Sunday morning, buses will be leaving at 8:15 AM and 9:45 AM from President, Carrol, and Montgomery streets between Brooklyn and Troy Avenues.
CTeen HQ appreciates the critical support and participation of the Crown Heights community in making this special Shabbos a reality every year. We apologize for any inconvenience that may occur due to the large crowds and appreciate your understanding.
