After a thrilling chagigah on Friday featuring Rambam Rebbi Emeritus, Rabbi Ari Boiangiu, the Lag BaOmer festivities continued on Monday with two schoolwide trips.
One group of students went to play paintball out on Long Island at one of the world’s most diverse paintball arenas. The site included a World War I-style trench warfare scenario, a castle, a downed plane, and more!
The other group went to the park for softball, kickball, basketball, soccer, and more! Rosh Mesivta Rabbi Avi Herschman and Principal Dr. Hillel Goldman also made their way to the park and took a few swings on the softball diamond. After watching junior Ephraim Twersky and senior Etai Kreitner leg out inside-the-park home runs, the admins gave it a valiant effort but were no match for the youngsters. Director of Student Activities Rabbi Yitz Milworn, however, more than held his own.
Between the paintball, the games, and the delicious and multifarious snacks, it was a wonderful day of bonding and play!
