All the Purim hullabaloo and merriment out in the streets of Queens did not circumvent Margaret Tietz Nursing & Rehabilitation Center in the least. As anyone with a loved one there can attest, the festive and joyous Purim spirit permeated the entire facility – from Rabbi Pearlman’s evening and morning megillahlaining to the costumed visitors parading the halls to the various family seudos that took place at Margaret Tietz. Music reverberated throughout the building as family and friends trooped through to deliver mishloachmanos to their loved ones, bringing smiles to everyone’s face. On Shushan Purim, Margaret Tietz participated in parties for neighborhood seniors at the Young Israel of Forest HIlls and Queens Valley Senior Leagues and treated everyone to delightful mishloachmanos packages.

Yeshiva of South Shore Rebbis vs. Eighth Grade Basketball Game
On Sunday, February 17th, 2013 the Yeshiva of South Shore hosted its annual Rebbis vs. 8th grade basketball game benefiting the 8th grade yearbook. The Rebbis defeated the 8th grade students in front of a sold out crowd by a score of 59-47 that consisted of parents, students, family and friends. The 8th grade
jumped out to an early lead thanks to the sharp shooting of Yosef Borochov. However, the speed and inferior defense of the Rebbis proved to be too much for the 8th graders to overcome. With Rabbi Ross, Rabbi Jacobi, Rabbi Schulman and Rabbi Robinson leading the break and the outlet passes from Rabbi Shonek, the 8th graders often found themselves down in a numbers game on defense. Rafi Guttman tried to keep it close and led the 8th graders with 12 points. Special thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Nenner, Mr. & Mrs. Mansbach, Mr. & Mrs. Collins and Mr. & Mrs. Nudman for sponsoring many items for the event. A big yasher koach to Mr. Daniel Mayer for arranging the food concessions. Congratulations to raffle winners Yonatan Mikhli, Yitzi Kestenbaum, Yehuda Kestenbaum, and Yosef Schoenfeld. A fun time was had by all. We look forward to next year to see if that 8th grade can break the streak of 6 wins in a row by the Rebbis.
