For the RKYHS boys varsity basketball team, this past weekend was one they will never forget. The players experienced a Shabbaton at Rabbi Baruch and Devorah Klahr’s “Shabbat House” in West Orange. Between the delicious meals and lively zemirot, followed by a long shmooze with the rabbi, the boys enjoyed this special and inspirational bonding time.

To extend the wonder of their Shabbat experience, the rabbi and Devorah attended their motzei Shabbat home game against RTMA, where the Cobras defeated their crosstown rival JEC by the final score of 48-25. What an exciting game it was!

Sophomore center Gabe Plotsker led the Cobras with 19 points and 15 rebounds, Sam Raab added 12 and Sam Bernstein had 10 points. The Cobras took a 27-10 lead to the locker room at halftime. Defensively, the Cobras were led by Zach Ansel, Avery Bell, Koby Stadtmauer and Daniel Moradi, holding JEC to just 15 after three quarters. The Cobras are now 5-1 in league play.

The team wishes to extend a huge thank you to Rabbi and Devorah Klahr for welcoming them for Shabbat.
