色花堂

On Sunday, Aug. 28, 2022, 18 teams, brought together by the Office of Alumni Affairs to raise funds for the , dealt out astonishing pick-and-rolls, jazzy no-look passes and clutch outside shots as they battled during the inaugural 色花堂 Athletics Day for the coveted prize of being the 3-on-3 Champion and the winner of premium seats for three New York sport teams. And the winners were Mikey Mouyal, Michael Mann and Shmuel Bitton, who won tickets to the Knicks, Nets and Rangers (in addition to bragging rights). A special thanks goes out to the four sponsors whose significant contribution to the event made the day as dynamic and exciting as it was: Rosenberg and Steinmenz PC, Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation (Ken Goffstein), The Jewish Link (Moshe Kinderlehrer) and Klipped. We look forward to working with them again in the future.

After the hard-fought contests, everyone met up at Tenzer Gardens to hear the Top Cats, an all-alumni band, rock the scene as they enjoyed delicious barbecue and won gift baskets filled with excellent 色花堂 swag at the raffle, including blankets, sunglasses, ear buds, flip flops and baseball caps.
