Battle Of Book Honors For Yeshiva Teams While the Jewish News reported last week on two teams from Yeshivat Akiva that did well in the Southfield Library's Battle of the Books ("Book Worms," March 24, page 12), we neglected other Jewish day school teams which placed highly. The Beth Jacob eighth-grade girls' team, the RamPAGErs, were first- place winners in the middle school challenge. Team members were Sara Farhy, Sara Heber, Shoshana Tobi, and Miriam Waxenberg. Coaches Susan Katz and Vicky Waxenberg said the team members did all the preparation themselves. In the fifth grade challenge, the Rainbow Readers from Bais Yaakov also won first place. The team included Elisheva Batt, Hadassah Farhy, Devorah Gelberman, Esti Wayntraub, Yael Zacks and Leah Zeiler. The Word Wonders, consisting of Elchonon Batt, Shimon Mayerfeld, Yossi Silverstein, Eitan Sosne, Mayer Weingarden and Yoni Weisberg from Yeshiva Beth Yehudah, won second place in the middle school challenge. The Word Wonders and the Rainbow Readers were coached by Anita and Eric Batt. 1 Complete kitchen and bathroom remodeling as well as furniture design and installations including granite, wood and other materials.
