Jonathan “Jon” Greenberg is returning for his second summer on the NCSY Summer Kollel in Israel and his first as a Madrich. From the village of Cedarhurst, NY, Jon spent his childhood in HAFTR. He then took his talents to Yeshivas Toras Shraga for a year and enjoyed his first two semesters in Yeshiva University this past year immensely. After some minor roster changes, coach Jon presents this summer’s First Team All-Kollel Chaburah lineup.
At the point guard position, from Teaneck, NJ (Frisch Yeshiva), “President” Charles George Bendheim. Charlie always keeps his teammates on their toes through his humor and fascinating insights into the Chaburah’s learning.
Starting at shooting guard, all the way from Lawrence, NY (DRS Yeshiva), Elie “on time” Roz. Elie’s quick mind, punctuality, and ability to fearlessly lead a group of guys has truly shown this summer during the Chaburah slot.
At the versatile 3 from Boca Raton, Florida (KYHS Yeshiva), Etan “pull-up” Winograd. Having been on Kollel last year, Etan is the veteran on the squad whom is constantly looked to for wise tips from his fellow “rookie” Chaburah-mates.
Standing at 7 foot 2, from Bergenfield, NJ (Yeshivas Frisch), Stevie “Steve” Paul. Stevie is always looking to add to the Chaburah’s chemistry, and he is a tremendous source of chizuk to all.
Last but not least, the big man from Little Rock, Arkansas (Cooper Yeshiva), Sam “headband” Lulky. With one championship ring already, Sam looks to help his Chaburah reach unimaginable heights.
The formidable team has truly meshed as a group thus far. Through exploring topics that range from “The Greatness of Teshuva” all the way to “Why Bad Things Happen,” this special group of guys have developed a synergy between each other. Each individual contributes to halachic and Jewish thought discussions appropriately and meaningfully day in and day out. They look forward to finishing the “4th quarter” of the summer with a bang.
