In Response To: Arabs and Jews roll the dice for Israeli Championship (Phil Simborg)

I was there and it was great. David Presser hosted me in Tel Aviv. Maybe he can write an article if USBGF asks.

It showed how backgammon can connect the people regardless of their background, language, color of the skin. They don't know how to play the 2nd roll but knows how to enjoy.(They know that part more than I know)

Even the prime minister of Israel tweeted on the day.

"Tonight hundreds of Arabs, Jews and others come together for the Jerusalem Backgammon Championships. A beautiful symbol of co-existence."

I really like to see them continue and hope USBGF and other federations support.
