Sacks Morasha shows Etgar how to rap

A team from Sacks Morasha in North Finchley has won this year’s Etgar Challenge rap competition - turning Herzl’s address to the First Zionist Congress into verse.

Sacks Morasha C were not only top rappers but were runners-up in the two other creative challenges as well as the main quiz last week.

Given there were 100 teams from 31 schools competing, organisers said the team’s achievement was outstanding and had never happened before.

Adam Taub, Etgar co-founder, said the rap “displayed a breadth of historical knowledge, written with wit and precision. It made all of the judges smile. It showed the fun one can have with knowledge, which is exactly what Etgar is about.”
