What does Takeoff mean, and why is there an airplane? Will we be flying somewhere?
No flights involved! Takeoff is the theme of our hotel Shabbaton: taking your Jewish journey to a new level through inspiring Shabbos experiences, meaningful connections, and a weekend with your Southern JSU community. The airplane is part of that theme.
Our destination is the Signia by Hilton Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida. Busing to the hotel is provided; choose your bus transportation during registration. See more about the hotel.

Can teens drive or attend only part of the weekend?
Teens may not drive themselves to or from the Shabbaton. Participants must use Southern NCSY transportation or be dropped off and picked up by a parent, guardian, or approved adult.
This is a full-weekend commitment. No late arrivals or early departures during Shabbat are permitted, by car, foot, or any other means.
For an extenuating circumstance, a parent must email Shani Muschel at least three days before the event. Requests after that window cannot be accommodated, and accommodations are not guaranteed. Southern NCSY cannot assume liability for participants who arrive or depart outside established procedures or attempt to drive themselves without proper authorization.
What should I know about personal belongings?
By joining, you agree that the Orthodox Union and NCSY/JSU assume no responsibility or liability for lost, damaged, or stolen luggage or personal items on buses, at the hotel, or at activity venues. Please leave expensive, irreplaceable, and sentimental items at home.
