Last Thursday, in sweltering, record‐breaking heat when lesser people would be staying in air‐conditioned safety, a group of intrepid golfers came out to beautiful Silver Lakes Golf and Country Club for the sole purpose of supporting Torah. Not only did they have to give up work for a day, they weren’t able to wear business clothes or answer emails. And for as
long as they had to play this little game, they were forced to drink beer, water, pop take a mid‐afternoon refreshment stop at the 14th hole where mojitos were served by the
Majito King (Roberto Hausman) and chicken wings and kugel were served by the Rabbi (among others). And once their round of golf was finished, they were not able to go home.
Instead they had to stay for barbecued steaks, male camaraderie and the chance to win some prizes. Nebuch. Profound thanks go to our duo of Ian Raskin and Gary Hyde who were gracious enough to take on the organization of the tournament for yet another year. These guys put their jobs and, to some degree, even their families on the back burner in the weeks before the tournament. Thanks also to arm‐twister extraordinaire, Robbie Volfson, who helped make this our best fundraiser ever.
Thanks to a team of volunteers who also had to endure the weather but didn’t have the pleasure of spending time in the rough or the sand and living in a world of multiple bogey.
