TGR is kicking off College Basketball week. We begin with D1 player and former Maccabi participant, Ben Resner. His life long dream is coming true and it looks like Stoney Brook could be headed to tournament, so pay attention to Resner and SeaWolves.
1) Tell TGR about yourself?
I’m 20 years old, grew up on Long Island and went to Harborfields High School. I’m also a die hard Knick fan.
8) What is your greatest Jewish memory from your childhood? My greatest Jewish memory I guess has to be my Bar Mitzvah. Becoming a man and having family and friends around to share the accomplishment is something every jewish kid should experience. 9) Do you know any other Jewish basketball players in the NCAA? Any to watch out for? I know Josh Elbaum, who plays at Vermont, because we basically grew up playing together. I dont know any others personally but I know Jake Cohen from Davidson is a great player.He actually won the Maccabi Gold my second year. 10) Anything else the TGR fans should know? TGR fans should look for SBU and follow us as we try to make a run to the big dance! Thank you to Ben. Good luck this season. We will be watching.
And Let Us Say…Amen.
