We are aware that security is of great concern. Our top priority when planning the Shabbaton, as well as every CTeen event, has always been and will continue to be the safety of each participant. With that in mind, the following have been put into effect for the Shabbaton: CTeen is working closely with the NYPD, who are made well aware of the entire weekend schedule and program ahead of time. The NYPD will be on call and there will be extra patrols of police and counterterrorism units as well as patrol stations present throughout the weekend. We will have our own security in addition to the police. Security will be stationed at exits and entries and will be continuously patrolling Crown Heights and Manhattan, particularly during night time events. Teens will not be allowed to walk alone in Crown Heights and Manhattan without a chaperon. We would like to once again stress the utmost caution and importance that we have placed on security measures for this event. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time. Sincerely, Rabbi Shimon Rivkin CTeen Executive Director p x 4344 e. shabbaton@cteen.com 2 What To Expect at the cteen international shabbaton 5776/2016

3 Safety & Security Before the weekend, exchange cell phone numbers with everyone in your group. If you are separated from your group at any point, stay put and call your chaperon. If you can t reach him or her, you can always call the CTeen help line at (347) and let them know you are lost. You are required to be with a chaperon at all times. Remember to keep your valuables and cell phones close to you, especially on the subways. To comply with security measures, you must wear your wristband that will be given to you at all times.
