There’s no pep like PAW pep! Last week’s pep rally, to show support for Frisch Cougars as the sports seasons kick off in earnest, had energy and excitement in spades.

The event kicked off with a “Who’s on first?” routine tailored for Frisch, starring the faculty’s resident performers, Rabbi David Goldfischer and Rabbi Jonathan Feldman. Next, students moved on to the gym, grabbing hot pretzels and some new Cougar swag and apparel along the way, for the main event. Highlights included Rabbi Eli Ciner making some pretty sweet 3-point shots; a water balloon toss with Dr. Rivka Schwartz; a basketball game with rebbeim vs. students (the rebbeim won); Rabbi Josh Weinberg pulling double duty as photographer and hockey goalie; faculty couple Rabbi Ariel and Shira Auman facing off in a little friendly competition with a 3-point shootout contest; and much more. Students had a great time cheering on the athletes and embodying some of that trademark ruach for which Frisch is famous.
