Connecting with teammates and forming new friendships were the unifying themes of Hillel Yeshiva PTA’s 2nd Annual Color War. The event was held at the DSN Beach Club and was unequivocally a huge success. Hillel was joined by other community schools including Magen David, Flatbush, and Barkai. Dedication, spirit, and fun were reflected by all involved.
One hundred women came together and formed six teams to compete in an array of events. An obstacle course, dodgeball, musical chairs, and a watermelon contest were just some of the games. Team cheers, songs, and dances rounded out the day to make Color War 2018 very memorable.
Everywhere you looked, teams were chatting and laughing. We were even fortunate enough to have the predicted precarious weather hold out the entire day!
The Red Team was the overall winner, gaining the highest score, in just about every event. Kudos to them! The Orange Team took the award for best song, which was dedicated to the memory of Naomi Houllou A”H, their teammate last year. Their song, “We are the World” was the highlight of the day. As they sang, each and every participant joined arms and came together as one. And, as the judges deliberated and watched from their cabana, each turned to the other and agreed that “this is what it is all about.” Their ruach (spirit), will surely remain in the hearts and minds of all for a very long time.
A special thanks goes out to our amazing judges Diane Mizrahi, Arianna Kaplan, Lynda Levy, Adele Khaski, Patti Picciotto, Marilyn Serour, and Gloria Dweck for their spirit, passion, support, and humor.
We are looking forward to Color War 2019!q
