The intensity and meaning of Tisha B’Av certainly spilled over and translated into a very productive Wednesday. We were back to a regular schedule, and the shiurim and chaburas were strong. The afternoon was highlighted by playoffs on the sports courts and swimming in the pool.

The sports post-season are always a thrill on the NCSY Kollel. Already on Wednesday there was no shortage of show-stopping action. A few of the top seeds feel victim to upsets, and there were overtime thrillers to entertain the crowds.

Also of note was our “NIT” or “Second Chance” playoff bracket. This is a parallel second tournament for all of the basketball teams that failed to make the playoffs. They will crown their own pseudo-champion, but more importantly, will also have a chance to play in organized games for a few more days.

After Maariv, Rav Jessed Horn gave a special optional shiur on preparations for the summer’s end and beyond. From the number of attendees and quality of post-shiur questions, it was clear that his words hit their mark.
