Congratulations to the JBHS Mock Trial 2012 team
on winning its first competition last week. The state-wide tournament
pits over 90 NYS schools against each other in local and regional
competitions, followed by a championship round in Albany in May.
The
YOF team was supported in its efforts by teacher-coach Howard Rothbort,
and attorney-advisor Jack Erdos. Mr. Erdos, a YOF parent, is an
attorney who volunteers in the NY State Mock Trial tournaments.
Coincidentally and fortunately for us, he was assigned to help YOF train
for the competition.
Team members are: Daniel Cohen, Edan Darmoni, Rachel Erani, Ezra Idy, Solly Idy, Shterny Isseroff, Gaby Kabarriti, Yaron Marciano, Sally Saban, Marc Smouha, Isaac Tessone, and Tali Zenilman.
