Josh Rubin - Week 7 - Fantasy Basketball League Begins!



Every year 10 of my friends and I put together a fantasy basketball league. We each put in twenty-five dollars, and the winner takes home $250. In fantasy basketball, you draft a team of players and earn points based on their performance. Points are awarded for every stat they record, for example, a shot made. Some stats, such as blocks and steals, count as more points than a typical made shot. I took my league's point system into account while picking my players. We had a very competitive draft, with everyone preparing who they would pick in what order. It lasted about an hour and a half. Ultimately, I believe I drafted the best team since I focused on drafting guards who would record the most steals.

This week was our season's first matchup, and I played my friend Matthew. My team outperformed his by a ton, and I won by over 400 points. Of course, the season has just begun, and one matchup won't determine the best team, but I also got the most points out of all my friends. I have the only team in the league that has four players averaging over 40 points. This leads me to believe that my team is the best. I hope my players stay consistent with their stats and keep me as a winning team. 


I recommend that other people interested in sports make or join a fantasy league. Not all leagues cost money to join, like mine. Fantasy sports are a great way to keep yourself engaged in the sport you enjoy watching.

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...
