Earlier this summer, the QJL presented a unique scavenger hunt on Main Street in Kew Gardens Hills sponsored by local illusionist Yoel "Magic" Spielman. Before the school year began, the search concluded when Yehuda Aryeh Teichman and his father Shraga emerged as the sole local to find the stashed prize. The treasure chest was nestled in the bed of the Sunoco station's outdoor advertising signage with the brand's arrow pointed directly toward the prize. Yoel lived up to his end of the bargain and proudly handed the winner $500 in singles! What fantastic end to a summer's long search! Now, I can rest easy knowing that I no longer hold the state secret!
