This past Sunday, members of Rambam Mesivta’s debate team competed in the Yeshiva League Model Congress tournament. Model Congress is a simulation of the United States legislative process in which students take on the roles of members of Congress and debate and pass bills on various issues. Team Captains Daniel Stein (senior) and David Mastour (senior) acted as presiding officers, maintaining order in each room and judging students on their speeches.
The tournament consisted of many schools competing, such as Frisch, TABC, and HAFTR. Rambam’s debate team performed exceptionally well, standing out in the competition. Congratulations to Henach Barningham for winning first in his committee, Yoni Pfeifer for winning second in his committee, and Shmuel Rabinow for winning second overall in the massive Yeshiva League Model Congress tournament!
With this impressive performance, Rambam came in second place overall in the tournament! The rhetoric team now is moving to prepare for the National qualifiers!
