Over four days last weekend, basketball teams from Jewish high
schools all over the country travelled to Los Angeles for the 5th
annual Steve GloubermanZ”L (an avid basketball player and fan who unfortunately died four
years ago at the age of 46, leaving a wife and three children) Basketball
Tournament.
Last week, Joshua travelled with the
Maimonides High School basketball team to play in the 5th annual Glouberman
Tournament. The M-Cats, as the team is known, had an impressive showing,
winning 3 of their 4 games.

The games at JCC and Shalhevet were
made available through a video link, and we managed to watch them. Joshua
continues to be the youngest member of the team but he played more this year
than last, so it was quite a thrill to see him on TV! With the three-hour time
difference, the Friday game, which had been neck and neck the entire time,
ended just minutes before the start of Shabbat on the east coast.
We still had a lovely Shabbat.
Simmie and family came to our apartment for dinner, and we had Shabbat
lunch with Dina and family (minus Joshua, of course). On Sunday we had brunch
with one of our “old” friends and former Sharon neighbor. Hilary’s first husband,
Barry Z”L, died four years ago, and she recently married a fellow who
had also been widowed. It was really wonderful to meet Bob and get to spend
some time with both of them.
Barry barbequed for all twelve of us when
Joshua returned on Sunday evening. We headed back to New York on Monday morning.
I had a couple of relatively quiet
days, and then spent the better part of Wednesday at MSKCC, where I had a scan
which looked good (yeah!), saw Dr. Iyer, and received my pembrolizumab
treatment. Pretty much every room in the unit had the TV tuned in to the impeachment
hearings. I would rather have been watching “The Price is Right”!
Have a great weekend.
Love,
Rebecca
