The Jews of Esports

ssbu

It’s hard to get kids to care about culture and religion. It’s much easier, on the other hand, to get them to play video games. Bridging that gap is Lost Tribe Esports, a non-profit organization that organizes video game events, competitions and communities for young Jewish gamers. (And if you don’t think gaming is a sport, you’ve clearly never watched competitive Super Smash Bros.) Andrew Exler, director of content and strategy for the company, joins to talk about their project.
