TABC JV Basketball Bests YDE in Intense Playoff Game
by Eli Rifkind
The TABC Storm JV basketball team came into the playoffs with the number one seed and faced YDE who were hot off an upset win over DRS. YDE brought plenty of fans who filled the TABC gym with noise and energy. This helped them jump out to an early lead, and finish up the quarter up by four. The Storm and their fans responded in the second, scoring twenty points and going into halftime winning 26-15. This run was led by guards Jonathan Haberman and Yoni Mann who scored six and seven points respectively in the quarter alone. Haberman would go on to finish with a team leading twelve points while Mann totaled eleven. In the second half, TABC stayed strong and prevented YDE from pulling another comeback. YDE would come close in the beginning of the fourth quarter, but TABC once again rebounded and came out with an eighteen point win. TABC moves on to the semifinals, where they will face HAFTR at home on Monday night. The JV hockey team also plays HAFTR on Monday, so it will make for an exciting night of sports at TABC, with both JV teams hopefully moving on to the championships.

Yavneh Academy hosts 'Meet the
Author Day' with Coach Bobby Kaplan
|
|
Yavneh Academy of Paramus invited Coach Bobby Kaplan, author of the children's book Hoopsters: Don't Be a Bully, to address 90 fifth-grade students. Yavneh, like other elementary schools in the Bergen County area, integrated Kaplan's second book into its anti-bullying curriculum.
Kaplan took the students on a journey of how a book is developed
and published. He also reviewed important bullying issues and possible solutions.
Hoopsters Episode 1: Don't be a Bully is up for two national
children's book awards and is the first in a planned series of books
to help kids deal with contemporary situations. Kaplan is also the
author of the award-winning publication,
BBall Basics for Kids.
The book is a step-by step handbook featuring "Hoops," a playful,
basketball-loving cartoon friend who shows kids of all ages
important skills and the right way to play the game.
Prior to ending the sessions at Yavneh, Coach K entertained
questions from the students. He also asked the group for their
suggestions of topics for his next book. Teamwork and fitness/
nutrition were the main themes.

TABC Delegation Impresses at
Model Congress
|
TABC's delegation of fourteen congressmen traveled to the Young Israel of Woodmere for the Yeshiva League Model Congress on Tuesday. Students had the opportunity to compose and present bills in their selected committees and to debate the pressing issues facing our nation and the global community. Some of the issues addressed by our students included the prison at Guantanamo Bay, emission standards for automobiles, the development of additional nuclear energy plants, the safety record of the TSA, the threat of falling asteroids and meteors, companies that outsource employment opportunities, federal subsidies for the production of ethanol, and more. The students' efforts were rewarded with distinction. Dovid Fertig ('17) and Naftali Shavelson ('17) were awarded Best Delegate honors in their respective committees and Adam Baron ('17) and Avraham Kahan ('19) both received Honorable Mentions in their committees. The students learned a lot, were thoroughly engaged, and carried themselves with great dignity.

The Freshmen had their Chessed Day this week. They visited the Masbia Soup Kitchen, the Alzheimer's unit at the JCC on the Palisades, and cleaned up cemeteries for the Hebrew Free Burial Society. We are proud that over the course of the year, all of our grades will have the opportunity to display how much they understand the need to engage in acts of chessed and to help those less fortunate than ourselves.

Late Night Learning Moves Over the Bridge to Yeshiva University
|
TABC talmidim took their late night learning on the road, as they traveled to Yeshiva University as the new venue this week. The talmidim heard one of Rav Yitzchak Cohen's legendary sichot, always an inspiring experience. They were then privileged to hear a shiur from Rosh Yeshiva Rav Meyer Twersky. Several TABC alumni, who are currently learning for semikha, hosted the current talmidim for a bayit cham, continuing the tradition of warmth that the alumni felt when they were at TABC. The students returned to TABC both intellectually and emotionally "charged" for the rest of the zman. For more photos, click

 The past Tuesday over a hundred and fifty students and parents attended our junior college meeting for parents and students. The meeting was an opportunity for parents and students to hear from the administration as well as the College Guidance Office about the College Guidance Program at TABC. Each family came away from the meeting with more information, guidance and with the extensive Torah Academy College Handbook. The meeting was also a kick off for the individual meetings that the College Guidance Department has with every junior family. For junior families to schedule their family college planning meeting please call Mrs. Joanne Oppenheim (x139), Monday through Thursday. Prime time slots are filled on a first-come-first served basis, so we encourage you to call as soon as possible.

JV and Varsity College Bowl Teams
Win Division Championships
|
Continuing their winning ways, both the Junior Varsity and Varsity College Bowl Teams swept all their opponents and won their respective New Jersey Division Championships at the regular-season-ending meet last week at Kushner Academy.
In an initially close-fought contest, Varsity upended rival Frisch with whom they had previously been tied for first place. The JV ended their season undefeated, while the Varsity triumphed with only one loss.
This year marks the third year in a row in which each team has been State Champion.
Guided and shaped by the firm but compassionate leadership of veteran coach Manny Landau, the Varsity team consists primarily of seniors, while the Junior Varsity team is made up of students from 9th to 11th grades.
Varsity is inspired by their captains Hillel and Yehuda Koslowe
and alternate captain Zach
Ottenstein, while JV is headed by Captains Yaakov Zinberg and Shlomi Helfgot, and co-captains Nathaniel Vinar and Avraham Kahan.
College Bowl is played by teams of four students competing at a time. It is a quiz-format contest based on general information, arcana and 'trivia' similar to that of "Jeopardy!". Thus, unlike most other knowledge-oriented contests, there is no syllabus to study from and preparation for it is extremely difficult.
Coach Manny's winning formula succeeds by appreciating and strengthening the team members' innate abilities and self-confidence and empowering them by teaching them ways to develop and enhance their intellectual discernment, response speed, and game-playing skills and strategies, Of course, the key is to have many very brilliant and talented students on the teams.
The year-ending Metropolitan-area League Championships are not yet scheduled, but we look forward to continuing success as represented by the fact that one or more of our College Bowl teams has been the Metropolitan League champion in 9 of the last 10 years.
GO BRAINSTORM GO!
