“Our ties were our Jewish heritage and Basketball both varied from individual to individual.  The Games afforded me the opportunity to grow as a Jew and learn about others in the Diaspora.  This tournament showed how much we've grown together as a Team and the character of each member.  We had to adjust to the style of play, adapt to our environment and overcome injuries.  It was a tremendous experience to work with this outstanding group of young men.  The relationships and experiences will be long remembered.”
