Parshat Lech Lecha Warring Kings: A (K)night of Chess and Checkers

Last night we hosted a packed house as children and adults alike battled it out on the chess and checkers boards. It was certainly a KNIGHT to remember as each person CHECKED in and found a MATE to play with. Nobody was BOARD as parents played with their children, friends played against each other, and parents were able to play against other parents.
Even more impressive than the turnout was the great middot that were displayed by all as everyone played with good sportsmanship and shook hands as they finished. Throughout the hall, many people shared their excitement for this event and requested to have more game nights. Another game night is certainly going to be in the works in the future.

Last but not least, Ben Yehuda supplied us with pizza for this event. Everyone came hungry, and left with smiles on their faces. Thank you to everyone who came out and made this night so special, and we look forward to seeing you at Dor L'Dor starting next week which will take place every other week for the next several weeks. Our next YISE Youth event will be the Chanukah carnival on December 18th.
