Message from Aaron Dannenbaum - CLTC 4

Hello from Bethany! My name is Aaron Dannenbaum, and I am the AZA Teen Coordinator here at CLTC 4. So, we are into our sixth day at CLTC, and everything keeps on getting better and better. Over this past weekend, our session had its first Shabbat, and thanks to the incredible services and programs led by our participants' chapters, everyone had a peaceful and meaningful experience. From a Friday night service about Judaism around the world to a Saturday morning service about standing up for what you believe in to a moving Havdallah service based on the tragic events of the Munich Olympics in 1972, all of the participants had an opportunity to contribute to making the Shabbat atmosphere just a little more special. Today, CLTC is on the move, and everyone is taking a bus to the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball game. Everyone is wearing their CLTC shirt and is super excited to get out for the day. Go Pirates! So, all in all, CLTC 4 2011 has been great so far, and all participants are making friends and having the experience of a life time. And the best part is, the week that we still have together will be even better. Until next time, Aaron Dannenbaum
