TYFFL Playoff WK1 UPDATE

Today, Friday February 29th, 2008 was the first week of playoffs. With Parisers and Tov Pizza earning bye's it was up to four teams to stay alive.

In what turned out to be a no contest, National Photo defeated Knish Shop to secure a spot in WK2. The other game between Sunpride and Allied turned out to be an OT thriller.

With Avi Yudkowsky leading his team into the Red Zone ready to end the game, Rafael Gradon picked off a pass and ran it down the field for a game-winning touchdown!

Next Week it will be Allied vs Parisers & National Photo vs Tov Pizza. The winners of next week's games will go to the finals...

Stay Tuned!

Torah Youth Weekend Update

On Motzai Shabbos Feb 23, 27 boys came out to play. There was pizza, tennis and two football games. A special shout out to Chaim Finkelstein for playing in bare feet!

On Sunday eve, Rabbi Teichman spoke about the references in the Torah pertaining to mirrors and the reasons why houses have so many mirrors in them. He “reflected” on the idea that when one looks into a mirror, a window at a certain point in the day, or even someone else’s eyes, one sees a reflection of himself.

Stay Tuned for details about the Shabbaton May 30!!!

Next Tennis is scheduled for March 22nd (Motzai Shushan Purim).

TYFFL - We hope to get the first week of playoffs underway this Friday!!!

PLAYOFF BOUND

I am pleased to inform you that this past Friday was the last regular season game for the 07-08 TYFFL league. Two of the three games had particular significance. The one with least significance was Parisers vs Allied. Pariser's QB JT Gutman is on IR and the team lost without him to the tandem of Rafael Gradon and Rafi Strum.

The battle for last place and the bottom seed in the playoff bracket was between Sunpride and Knish Shop. The winner of the game would face the 3rd seed, which was determined in the other significant game. Avi Yudkowsky led his team to a 6-5 win in OT in a very exciting matchup.

In the game with most significance, Tov Pizza, led by Chaim Finkelstein, defeated National Photo in a 4-3 Overtime win. The winner, Tov, now joins Parisers with a bye in the first round of the playoffs.

Next week is winter break, but the week after that, the playoffs begin! Allied will take on Sunpride and National Photo will take on the Knish Shop. We hope to see you there!

TYA SUPERBOWL PARTY IV

TYA Super Bowl Party was once again a HUGE success. The food and the game did not disappoint!
Furthermore, we had our own Halftime Show featuring Rabbi Teichman! Rabbi Teichman reminded the boys that although it is okay to enjoy and have fun, they should remember to act as mentsch and not as animals (as most teams are associated with animals).


TYA wishes to extend a thank you to the Elgamil family for allowing us to use their home for the party.
