Last night, HTC's Rothner Family Gymnasium was abuzz with excitement as 60 high school boys from eight yeshivas and schools across Chicago and the Midwest gathered for the Achdus 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament. Participating schools included Yeshiva of Minneapolis, Kesser Yonah, Ner Naftali, Fasman Yeshiva High School (FYHS), Ida Crown Jewish Academy (ICJA), New Trier, Lubavitch Mesivta, and Mesivta of Greater St. Louis (MTI). This lively event was not just about sportsmanship and competition; the funds raised went to support Just One Chesed in Israel, an organization dedicated to aiding our brothers and sisters in Eretz Yisrael.
Each player was given an HTC swag bag with a Dri-Fit jersey and other exciting swag, and everyone was treated to a grand BBQ dinner. The achdus was palpable as students from different schools played on mixed teams, uniting over their shared commitment to chesed and a love of basketball.
We are incredibly proud of all the participants for their enthusiasm and support. The tournament left every student with a sense of unity and chesed.
