“
A lot of the players know 
each other from camp, and, of 
course, they share common 
values like being good citizens, 
and Jewish values like respect-
ing Torah and mitzvot.
”
Levisohn said he received 
“wonderful feedback” about 
this year’s tournament, and 
he was flattered to be asked 
by a member of the Atlanta 
delegation how Farber creates 
such a welcoming spirit for the 
tournament.
“I was asked that because 
their school (Atlanta) is look-
ing to start a flag football tour-
nament there,
” he said.
The Farber basketball team 
won its first three tournament 
games, including a 37-36 over-
time thriller over Pittsburgh 
thanks to three free throws by 
Ari Schon with .6 seconds left. 
The Fire also beat Columbus 
54-28 and Atlanta 62-51 to 
make it to the championship 
game against Montreal.
Other players on the 
Farber roster are Selesny, 

Adler, Gideon Lopatin, Jonas 
Singer, Shmuel Schottenstein, 
Matthew Shamayev, Yona 
Benjamin, Yisrael Attali, Ziv 
Digadker, Benji Gardin, Abie 
Gardin and Aviel Siegel. Rick 
Kaczander is the coach.
While this was the fifth 
annual Tanzman tournament, 
it was the sixth year of the 
tournament’s existence. The 
tournament wasn’t held in 
2021 — in fact, there wasn’t a 
Farber basketball team during 
the 2020-21 school year — 
because of mitigations related 
to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tanzman, the tournament’s 
namesake, was one of Farber’s 
founders. The school opened 
as Akiva Hebrew Day School 
in 1964.
After Tanzman’s death 
in 2016, Farber high 
school students created the 
tournament to celebrate 
his love for basketball and 
his devotion to Jewish day 
schools.
