Online Gaming for Teens with a Jewish Twist
Lost Tribe Esports (LTE) is
revolutionizing how we connect with the next generation, building teen engagement with Jewish communal life through online and in-person events. We’re excited to offer our St. Louis teens this platform to connect and game! LTE’s online platform provides our community with unlimited access for teens (ages 13 and up) to a range of safe, monitored, online, esports-based connections.
What is Lost Tribe Esports: • A 24/7 gaming and social hub for teens. Our J has a ‘home base’ on LTE’s private Discord* server • Unlimited access for our J’s teens to congregate virtually
How does it work? • Teens sign up via a custom link that leads directly to our home base (it’s quick and easy). • There, they socialize with peers from our community and find partners for gaming. • They can also branch out to other channels within the Lost Tribe Esports server, connecting and gaming with Jewish peers from around the world.

How does this promote Jewish Values:
• Promote informal Jewish learning, including Jewish values-infused gaming rules; “Game to Give,” tzedakah opportunities; and more • Build new Jewish relationships, as teens engage actively with Jewish peers from around the world • Help keep teens engaged with their Jewish friends and their connection to their community during COVID-19 shutdown and beyond
Discord & Safety: What is Discord? • Discord is an instant messaging platform (similar to Slack), for online gamers. LTE uses it to connect teens through voice and text chat rooms. The J will have a private channel to serve as a home base online connecting our community. • The server also contains various channels dedicated to teens’ favorite games, which helps encourage participation.
What do teens do on Discord? • Communicate! Voice chat, text chat, and video chat • Connect with Jewish teens locally, and globally
