Hudson Gray Week 9- Off to an Incredible Start



 Off To An Incredible Start

The Indiana Pacers have started this season with a 10-6 record! If you follow basketball, you are aware that the Pacers were projected to be one of the worst teams in the NBA. Although it is early in the season, the Pacers have looked great and I am really excited for the rest of the season. About half way through last season, the Pacers made some significant changes to their roster. This team was on its way to rebuilding, but who knew that it would only take a couple trades? Last February, the Pacers traded their two-time all star player to the kings for a generational talent. Everyone was talking about how good this trade was for the pacers, and although at the time I believed this, it is now confirmed. This young talent's name is Tyrese Haliburton. He is a 3rd year player from Iowa State and was the 12th pick in the draft by the kings. While the kings are known to waste talent, no one believed they would ever trade Haliburton, especially at this point in his career. As a fan, it is so fun and exciting watching him play with the way he passes the ball and can score. I am hoping to see Tyrese Haliburton make his first all star team this year, and if he keeps up this play, he definitely will. 

In this past NBA draft, the Pacers had the 6th overall pick. They selected a guard out of Arizona named Benedict Mathurin. So far Mathurin has shown his scoring ability and is one of the best, if not the best, rookie in the NBA. On top of both Mathurin and Haliburton, other players like Myles Turner and Buddy Hield are having outstanding seasons as well. I am optimistic about this season and it feels great being a fan of such a fun, young, and exciting team right now. Do any of you watch basketball? And if so, who is your favorite team?

    I hate to break it to you but the Heat are the best team in the league. They are having a little difficulty without Butler but once hes back its over. Tyrese cant carry the team on his own forever.

Joshua Grynbaum Week 5: DKJA Open House

Image
     Some of you may be wondering why I am submitting this blog a day late… Did I forget? Am I just irresponsible? The true reason is that last night I had the honor of attending the Donna Klein Jewish Academy Open House. The Open House was truly an eye-opening experience, where I got to introduce myself and the amazing clubs our Rosenblatt Highschool has. I volunteered as a tour guide and helped set up and lead many of the club stands that attended.      The two main stands I promoted were the Jewish Student Union Club (JSU) and the Business Program. I personally know the presidents of both clubs, which made it easier for me to introduce the clubs to the upcoming parents and students of Rosenblatt Highschool. The Business Club didn’t get much action due to it being in a separate room with all the “signature clubs”, but JSU was a whole different story. The presidents were playing Israeli music at their table, which caught the attention of many parents, and ...

Aaron Mibab 3: Hazamir

Image
Last year and this summer I had the privilege of participating in the Jewish teen choir named Hazamir. Hazamir is an international singing group, with its chapters primarily located in the United States and Israel. In order to participate in Hazamir, one must be able to sing but the ability to sight-read is not necessary. Its music and events have led me to a larger repertoire, increased understanding of music, and more friends. I am so excited to continue singing in Hazamir this year too! Despite Hazamir’s amazing offerings, the Boca Raton Chapter is too small and needs more numbers.  Hazamir has almost weekly meetings where participants practice and learn the provided music. These practices typically last 2 hours and are very casual and fun! Last year, I became very close to the other members of my chapter through the songs we learned. Additionally, during the break from learning, I would bond with the other participants with the occasional Ice-breaker and talking.  So...

Aaron Mibab 6: Recycling at Donna Klein

Image
     Ever since I was little, I remember my father taking out the recycling or doing activities relating to recycling. He would remove the tabs from coke cans and collect them; I remember he had a large bag or two where the metal tabs stayed. I also remember “helping” him take apart boxes so more could fit into the recycling bins. Recycling was important to him because it is taking care of the environment and world that his children will inherit. Due to his beliefs, I believe recycling is important to take care of the world that will one day be my responsibility.      Many of you reading this blog may think, “recycling at Donna Klein? Why would that be a topic? I have seen recycling bins in the school.” Well due to my participation in the Green club, I was informed that Donna Klein does not actually recycle.       Donna Klein is also proud of its earned certification as a FranklinCovey Leader In Me Lighthous...
