Tuesday at the Maccabi Games in San Antonio was nothing short of, as we like to refer to it, a ‘bonanza’. After the great
time and success which we had in S.F. by the Games, we decided to become pseudo-groupies and drive the 1,486 miles to San Antonio. We were rewarded for our efforts. Throughout the day, teams walking to and from events all stopped by to say hi, take a wristband, put on Tefillin or take a box of Shabbat candles. It was great when a few teams through the day ran over after a win saying it was because they had all donned the Tefillin ( the team that lost did not come over which saved us some explaining). All in all it was a great success with 140 tefillin (20 of them first timers) and 50 pairs of Shabbat candles. One of the Roadsages had a brother who is a friend of ours as well fly in especially for the Games to help out.
Special thank you to the Chabad Shluchim in San Antonio Rabbi and Rebbetzin Bloch for their warm hospitality.
Next up, Dallas via Austin.
Good to see Zev New joining the effort, well done!
Nachas ruach!
