Updated
The teen retreat leaders recently decided on a restriction regarding attendance which they feel will better maintain the purpose of the retreat. Please note that teens may invite to the retreat as many Orthodox friends as they wish but no more than one non-Orthodox friend. They have several reasons, one being that they are concerned that if the numbers of non-Orthodox are higher than Orthodox, the retreat will become more of an outreach event, which is not its focus. The retreat’s purpose is to strengthen our teens’ faith and connectedness to Orthodoxy. We want to reduce “cliques” and promote standard Orthodox expectations for behavior. If anyone has questions or concerns, please contact Stephanie Glassman.
