(Courtesy of Valley Chabad) On August 4, teens gathered at Valley Chabad in Woodcliff Lake to pack school supplies for children in need. The initiative was in partnership with the Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey.

A diverse group of teens packed the backpacks full of the school staples and included teddy bears provided by the Bear Givers Foundation and personalized notes for the children.

The teens also enjoyed making their own sushi at the program.

CTeen is the Valley Chabad Teen Leadership Initiative’s popular teen group that gathers regularly for a variety of social and community service-oriented activities for Jewish teens in the Pascack Valley and Saddle River regions.

The programs are open to all Jewish teens regardless of affiliation. To learn more or to have your teens volunteer visit Valleychabadteens.org or email
