The term “Color War” usually brings to mind kids dressed in team colors and participating in activities like sports, banner making, and more.

Late that morning, an announcement was made calling all students down to the gym for an update on an issue with the plumbing. That update turned out to be a Color War breakout – or so it seemed. Complete with colors, team themes, and scheduled activities, it was nothing more than a fakeout! Students had to wait until that afternoon for the real breakout and were thrilled to find out their real teams: Team Blue, representing T’filah, and Team Silver, symbolizing Torah.
