After spending the better part of this school year's first semester studying a select portion of Maimonides’ “Sefer Hamitzvos”, more than 4,000 boys and girls participated in a series of tests to determine the extent of their knowledge.

This Motzoei Shabbos, March 11, the one-hundred-and-fifty finalists of the girls’ division – from 7 international countries and 16 states in the US – will gather at the Brooklyn School of Music and Theatre for the “Chidon Sefer Hamitzvos” Championship Finals.

The evening promises to be filled with excitement. Beginning at 8pm, the program will include the popular “Jewpardy” gameshow, sure to keep audience members at the edge of their seats. Finalists are seated on the stage in groups of 4 and “ring in” when they think they know the correct answers. The crowd, meanwhile, can view the questions on huge screens throughout the auditorium.

Finalists are seated on the stage in groups of 4 and “ring in” when they think they know the correct answers. The crowd, meanwhile, can view the questions on huge screens throughout the auditorium.

Rabbi Shimmy Weinbaum, an organizer of the event, says the contest is very significant: “The Lubavitcher Rebbe said many times that through uniting Jewish people we would witness the coming of Moshiach. What better way to unite than through learning all about G-d’s commandments?”

Audience members will be treated to live performances by two of today’s foremost Jewish female singers. International singing sensation “Kineret” is sure to have crowd members on their feet. Then, the popular “Chanale!” will perform hits from her new album “Vatispalel Chana”.

Don’t miss the event of a lifetime! (Women and girls only.)
