Mahjong

The clinking of tiles and sweet sound of gossip are a deeply-rooted part of American-Jewish heritage. Mahjong is a challenging, tile-based strategy game that combines skill with luck, and must always include chit-chat and snacks. Players attempt to match a hand from scores of possibilities - and although winning a game is satisfying, ALMOST winning is sometimes just as much fun!

Rabbi Stacy Bergman will teach the basics of playing American Mah-jongg (adapted from the Chinese game) and the focus will be on tile recognition, strategy, rules and having fun. No Mah-jongg experience is required and classes are open to everyone across gender and generations. All participants will receive their own official National Mah-jongg League card. Come nosh, chat and play together. This is a great way to meet new people and create community through fun and engaging learning. The class is 4 sessions (about 2 hours each).
