Torah and tech have always gone together, as Chabad.org can attest. Now the
third T - teens - is being thrown into the mix, thanks to a groundbreaking new
app being launched next week at the annual CTeen (Chabad Teen Network)
International Teen Shabbaton in New York.
The application - to be available for Apple iOs as well as Android - is the brainchild of California teenager David Z, who like most Gen Z (yes that's what they're called) is passionate about tech and the teen programs he has grown to love at his local Chabad chapter of CTeen, overseen by Rabbi Eli Baitelman, co-director of Chabad of Pacific Palisades, Cal.
The app features a variety of Jewish themed content directed at teens, combined with social features that are vital to the wired-in generation of teens who frequent programs at the more than 100 chapters of CTeens around the country. Photo galleries, video content and live chat sit side by side with Jewish themed content about holidays and heritage, all available at the mere tap - or slide - of a finger.
