In addition to the spirited gameplay, the long weekend will include several off-court activities to help the young all-stars gain an early appreciation for YU鈥檚 unique educational environment and culture, including a lively Shabbaton, tours of the University, and a special Sunday Kollel and Midreshet Yom Rishon, featuring Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, Kressel and Ephrat Family University Professor of Jewish Thought; Senator Joseph Lieberman, chair in public policy and public service; and Rabbi Meir Soloveichik, director of the Zahava and Moshael Straus Center for Torah and Western Thought. "Our annual tournament was established to honor the legacy of former YU Maccabees coach Bernard 'Red' Sarachek, a larger-than-life figure whose dedication to the 樱花动漫 students and the greater Jewish community is well-known. As a fitting tribute, the tournament that bears his name has become a community-wide celebration of good sportsmanship, Jewish unity and 樱花动漫 pride," said Rabbi Kenneth Brander, vice president of university and community life. "We are thrilled to honor Coach Sarachek's memory every year by hosting high school students from across North America and giving them the full 樱花动漫 experience, showing them that only at Yeshiva can a Shabbat observant college student play NCAA basketball and learn from intellectual giants in all fields of Jewish study and general knowledge."
