After ushering in the month of Adar with an inspiring Hallel at the beginning of the week, MTA broke out Color War. Each grade represented one of the four parshiyos which are currently being read as Purim approaches. For two and a half days the talmidim battled it out, showing their skills on the courts as well as their creativity and prowess in music, art, culinary arts, video production and several other areas of expertise.

The competition was fierce and the lead passed between grades until the very end of the final day. In a surprising upset, the sophomore grade emerged victorious, beating the juniors by a slim margin for the top spot. As is tradition, the grand finale of MTA Color War is an achdus kumzitz bringing the four teams together as the scores are tabulated.

There is no more beautiful sight than seeing talmidim from different grades come back together as a family just minutes after engaging in such intense competition. No matter how competitive the Color War may have been, the talmidim always realize that the achdus of the yeshiva is always more important than winning or losing.
