“This is always a great day, a great event and a chance for players of all levels, from everywhere in the community, to come together,” said Jef Arbesman, co-chairing the event with Jennifer Redman. “I love Anshai and heading this program lets me share my passion for golf and my passion for our shul and the kids who are our future - really, that’s what it’s all about.”

Over the years, more than $40,000 raised has benefted CAT’s Youth Scholarship Program which helps its children attend Jewish summer camps, leadership development programs, Israel experiences, Gap-Year programs and the March of the Living tour.

The event features a “hole in one,” contest, a rafe and lunch and an awards ceremony following the tournament.

“The Classic is our passion project to support the children of Anshai and there’s no better place to put money or efort,” said Redman. “We have wonderful teams and sponsors and hope still for more. Bringing friends from work, neighbors or family and sponsoring a hole or contest is a fantastic opportunity to promote business. In this time of antisemitism, we’re thrilled to have an event that is shared by Jews and those who are not, by people from all over the community for common good.”

Players can register as a team, or individually, and will play the 18 holes two groups at a time, with four players in each group. In addition to the lunch (Kosher supervision provided by Anshai Torah), snacks and drinks will be provided throughout the course.

Players experienced and less so, will hit the Lakes at Castle Hills course. Howard Eisenberg, who will pull his clubs down from the attic, and Richard Berry, a returning player who often relishes his time on the course, agree it’s going to be a splendid day.

“The Classic is always terrifc, there’s something for everybody and I’m looking forward to it. Ability is relative and we’re all out there to enjoy ourselves and raise some money for the kids,” said Berry, playing with his son Adam, Harry Kranz, and Hugh Robinson. “It’s fun, and it can be competitive, but most of all it’s a good, fun time.”
