The Aces are Back
Posted by Jeremy Fine

There are a few times during the year I get super excited for sports. Opening day for the White Sox. The NFL draft. And March Madness. Yes, in the NCAA but also at Yeshiva University. Every year, since I was in High School, YU has held what is called the Red Sarachek Tournament. It brings 20 Jewish high schools, mainly Orthodox, to YU for an amazing tournament. I participated for 3 years and have gone every year I have been in NYC. While this might be my last year attending for a while, this year I went to see family friend Ari Bressman and the Ida Crown Aces. The gym was packed, as Ida Crown brought a huge crowd. Click HERE to read about the game
For those who love basketball and March Madness I suggest attending. Its competitive and a great Jewish experience. This year I stayed to watch MTA guard, Yisrael Feld, who has gotten plenty of press. He dropped 23 points but looked solid throughout. Also, Valley Torah who has been a big story in the Jewish sports world plays tomorrow. College prospect Aaron Liberman will be featured in that game. To follow the tournament check out www.macslive.com and to read about the tournament checkout www.yu.edu/sarachek1.
And Let Us Say…Amen.
