FACTOID OF THE WEEK!
This week’s featured personality is Yitz Greenbaum.
Also known as Zak, Newton, Asimov and Hayes, Isaac Greenbaum is a very talented young man. He proved his excellent dancing skills when he acted out a choreographed routine at a friend’s wedding to the Chevra song – “Yehai, Yehai…” He’s got some moves you have to see to believe! Yitz is fully in touch with his urban side and has even rapped the Washington State song as a youngster in fifth grade. Yitz is a proud member of the Greenbaum family, though he will acknowledge the fact that when he was nine years old and heard about the birth of his younger sister, he insisted on bringing her back to exchange her for a boy. Yitz, quite the sportsman, was starting pitcher on his high school baseball team and can knock your eye out with his expert nunchuk skills. (Spare time in KBY? Don’t think so – try a two-year training period in the Tibetan mountains) Poor Yitz broke his ribs as an infant when his babysitter dropped him in the tub – that may explain a few things… Another interesting point: Yitz holds dual citizenship in American and Britain. Consequently, he’s not exactly sure what side to take in the Revolutionary War debate – we think he’ll come to his senses and make a decision soon; we’ll get back to you when he does!
That’s all for now. Again, so sorry for the tardiness and everything will be elaborated up on in an e-mail after Sabbos.
Shabbat Shalom,
Dov, Miri, Ashira and Jakob
