The Eight Game

Masha Feygel sent me some more information from Reb Chayim:
Below you will see a list of lessons that were learned by our “8 Game” players over a period of eight days. NONE of them had any idea what to expect, they just played a game and you will read some incredible lessons. If you like what you see, and you want to give it a try, then follow the instructions below the lessons.

I will need to suspend my usual cynicism in order to play this game. Masha Feygel assured me that this is not some kind of marketing scheme. The website says that it costs a million dollars, but so far no one has asked me for my credit card details.

Let the game begin!
