Tuesday, November 23rd , Bring It In - Israel Fellows Gabi Remz and Sam Foreman had the opportunity to work with children from Keshet School in Jerusalem. Keshet is a unique school that offers secular and religious Israeli children the opportunity to learn together. The first practice Gabi and Sam shadowed basketball coach Aran Rondel as he coached twenty 1st and 2nd graders. Fellows were able to observe and jump in on drills. The second practice the fellows had the opportunity to coach a group of 12 3rd and 4rth grade boys. Fellows practiced running activities from the Bring It In - Israel curriculum. They focused on explaining the drills properly and group management. According to Head Coach David Lasday, “Sam and Gabi were a big hit with the children, they commanded respect, got the children excited about learning basketball and English, and ran the games to perfection. As young dynamic leaders they have the ability to serve as both coaches and role models for Jewish youth around the world.”Click here for a blog post by Fellow Gabi Remz.
