| The chanichim played a few games that all involved achieving a goal. First they attempted to do so with restrictions such as not being able to speak.
They then played wthe games again with the restrictions removed.

| The games metaphorically expressed the concept that
right now we have restrictions on our communication with G-d because we don’t have the
Beit Hamikdash. The chanichim discussed this idea after they played the games focusing
on what we- as Jews living in the year 2001- can do to help remind ourselves of the loss of the Beit Hamikdash.
