The Rambam 5K & Family Day Returns
T
his past Sunday, members of the Rambam family came out to run for a good cause in the school’s third 5K & Family Day! After Rabbi Friedman sounded the shofar, students, alumni, parents, teachers, and little children in strollers were off on a scenic run of the Five Towns. It took junior Avi Orlow just 19 minutes and 25 seconds to reach the finish line followed 17 seconds later by his dad, Adam Orlow, and then at twenty minutes and five seconds, sophomore Akiva Schuck crossed the finish line to round out the top three. “Best Mom Runner” went to Rivky Orlow and “Best Child Runner” went to Abby Deutsch. Other notable runners included Sam Sicklick (20:19), Noah Schwartz (20:24), Natan Appel (20:25), Ethan Selevan 20:26), Daniel Moskovic (21: 40), and Benny Csillag (22:05).
While the race was in progress, the younger children who stayed behind were entertained by a Rambam Entertainment Squad of Yoni Auerbach and Zev Granik. Yoni jugged everything he could get his hands on from basketballs to rings, while Zev mesmerized them with his magic, changing his shirt colors and making objects appear and disappear at will. The kids were then treated to fresh cotton candy and ices and enjoyed a giant bouncy house. As the runners returned, they had a delicious Cravings’ brunch of tuna and egg salad wraps, and parents, children, students, and teachers had a meaningful time reflecting on the race and the school year. This event, which raised thousands of dollars for scholarships, could not have been successful without the hard work of the Women’s
League! Special thanks to Mrs. Tamar Sicklick, Mrs. Batsheva Aaron, Mrs. Carolyn Deutsch, Mrs. Miriam Srulovich, and Mrs. Miriam Kessler. Kudos to the Village of Lawrence and the Nassau County Police Department and Auxiliary Police for ensuring it was a safe and secure run and to Aaron Friedman and Hillel Gold-
man for all their hard work. And a last thank you to all the Rambam boys who helped coordinate the race, and manned the food stations, and schlepped chairs and tables. It was a wonderful day that really brought the whole Rambam mishpacha closer together. Here’s looking forward to next year!
