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. • 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 • 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. • 24/7 Online Gaming/Social Hub • Online Tournaments ඈ “One-and-done” online tournaments in a variety of non-shooter games, offered two-three times weekly ඈ No fee ඈ Teens register in advance; enter virtual lobby 30 minutes before kickoff to claim spot in tournament ඈ Duration: approximately three hours • Lost Tribe Minecraft Servers ඈ LTE hosts several Minecraft servers, allowing groups of teens and their friends play together with their own set of rules. ඈ Meet, play, create, and cooperate with Jewish peers from our J and other JCCs that share the Lost Tribe Minecraft server
