nament this year.
Close friends Aaron Adler 
and Avi Selesny of Southfield 
are this year’s tournament 
co-commissioners. Each plays 
on the Farber basketball team.
Being friends has been a big 
help for the co-commissioners.
“
Aaron and I see each other 
a lot, so we’ve been able to talk 
a lot about the tournament,
” 
Selesny said. “Because we’re 
friends, we can say something is 
a good idea or bad idea to each 
other. We work together.
”
Adler, a senior, was in 
charge of the tournament 
booklet and helped with fund-
raising when he was a sopho-
more.
Selesny is a junior. He was 
one of the tournament game 
public address announcers 
when he was a freshman.
It hasn’t been easy to restart 
the tournament amidst 
ever-changing COVID-19 
mandates and mitigations and 

a pandemic that drags on.
Planning for the tourna-
ment began in December, later 
than usual.
“
Arranging for housing for 
the visiting players and coach-
es has been a big challenge 
because of COVID,” Selesny 
said. “Some families aren’t 
comfortable these days having 
visitors stay with them.”
Adler said, “We’ve had to 
remember how things were 
done in the past and do 
those things the same way, 
only better.” 
Also on the Farber bas-
ketball team besides Adler 

and Selesny are Ari Schon, 
Jonathan Kornblum, Joey 
Goldman, Yishai Hyman, 
Yisrael Attali, Joseph Winer, 
Yona Benjamin, Ziv Digadker, 
Micah Adler and Benji 
Gardin.
Jason Hollis is the team’s 
coach. Joel Lewis II is the 
assistant coach.
All six teams in the tourna-
ment represent a high school 
with less than 100 students. 
Each of the visiting teams 
previously played in the tour-
nament.
Joining Farber in the tour-
nament field this week are 

two-time defending cham-
pion Fuchs-Mizrachi School 
from Cleveland, Atlanta Jewish 
Academy, Columbus Torah 
Academy, Denver Academy of 
Torah and Hillel Academy of 
Pittsburgh.
The tournament schedule is 
posted on the Farber and tour-
nament Facebook pages.
Each team will play three 
games before the playoffs 
Sunday. The tournament cham-
pionship game will be at 1:15 
p.m.
Thanks to tournament spon-
sors, admission to games is

spectators.

or have concerns about being

streamed on the tournament’s 
YouTube channel.
