Joshua Grynbaum Week 10: The Magic Magic

During this past Thanksgiving break, my family and I went on a trip up to Orlando to spend some time together. One of the most memorable parts of the trip was when I and my brother went to the Orlando Magic game. On the 25th of November, the Magic were set to play the Philadelphia 76ers, and although the outcome was not what we were hoping for, it was still a thrilling game to watch.

We started the night by arriving at the arena about half an hour before the game began because we knew that there would be a lot of traffic and it would be hard to get into the arena. The traffic was so bad that my parents ended up dropping us off 2 blocks away from the arena and we ended up walking the rest of the way. Once we entered the arena, I was surprised at how nice and clean everything was and how pleasant the scenery was. We walked to our seats and were impressed by how close the seats were to the court, even though we bought the tickets for cheap and at the last minute. They had the entertainment to occupy us while the players were warming up, and we especially enjoyed watching the team mascot, Stuff the Magic Dragon, do funny things while interacting with the fans. 

Once the game started, everyone was shouting and cheering for their favorite teams and it was truly an experience. The guy who sat behind us was rooting for the opposing team, and he was very animated and loud, which was a good thing. Unfortunately, the Magic did secure the victory, however, they played their hearts out and had many fans there that supported them. Once the game was over, we walked a few blocks in downtown Orlando and it was a relaxing and cool experience. There weren’t many cars or people on the roads and it was just a great way to end the night.

    I didn't know a Magic game could be so fun ;) Their mascot is really funny when he messes with the fans. Nice to hear you had a nice time with your family.

    Ive recently stopped watching basketball, and from what I remember they were a pretty bad team. Looks like they have really improved since then!

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...
