Photo Gallery: Jews Vs. Blacks – for a Good Cause

Hasidic Jews and Caribbean-Americans faced off yesterday, Sunday March 25, for a game of soccer in Hamilton Metz (AKA Lefferts) Park. Both sides gave it their best in the inclement weather, but when the dust settled our Noahide neighbors emerged victorious – 4 to 2.

The players all congratulated each other on a game well played, and are already looking forward to the next opportunity to reign supreme on the playing field.
