Epstein Hebrew Academy students, staff and family members held Blue And White Spirit Day on Sunday, Nov. 12 and the Blue Team was the big winner.

The event was originally designed to be a family-friendly version of color wars, a longstanding tradition in Jewish day schools and summer camps to encourage friendly competition and learning. The 2023 EHA competition was modified to a blue-and-white theme in support of Israel.

It included an athletic competition and a trivia round about Israel.
