The Dnipro Yeshiva named after Rabbi Levi-Yitzhak Schneerson hosted the Purim game “Who’s on top?” on the eve of Purim.
Six teams took part in the game. The game was played using a mixed system – the teams fought each other, and the winner advanced to the next stage, but since there were six teams, the winner of the 5-6 pair immediately advanced to the finals, and the winners of the 1-2 and 3-4 pairs also played in the semi-finals.
The tasks for each pair and each round were different, some required team cohesion, while others required individual skill and ingenuity.
“For example, there was a task where we asked questions, and the participants, who were wearing letters, had to show the correct answer as quickly as possible, and the questions were not always simple,” says Rabbi David Waskovsky, “not every adult will be able to quickly and correctly answer the question “a holiday when you can drive, but you can’t go to yeshiva” or “who is that woman with a tail”. The questions in other rounds were also difficult, for example, the captain does not see the photo, but the team does and he must identify the person depicted, asking questions that can only be answered with a “yes” or “no”. There was a design and creativity competition – to create an Ahasuerus hat from improvised materials. Well, the finale was “Purim in reverse” – the host gave commands that required the opposite action, and whoever made a mistake was eliminated from the game.”
The game was very fun and intense, the teams tried very hard, but there can only be one winner, and this time it was team #6, which we are pleased to present: Yaakov Shcherbina, Shmuel ben Sarah Stambler, Sholom Petrushansky, Shneur Nachshon, Reuven Futerfas, Aryeh Leib Zislin, Shimon Pekerman and Zalman Waskovsky.
