August 4, 2006 I can’t believe there are going to be thousands of Jewish kids in my city. At the kick off I am going to see many grand athletes from all around the world, like Israel, Pennsylvania, and Poland. I also am so energized to be a symbol of my state among thousands of people. I can’t believe that after the day games I get to go to night activities, like Amazing Jakes, and Sun Splash. It is so awesome to have six Jewish athletes at my house. They could teach me some new sports tricks. Those are all the amazing things that I am looking forward to. Gideon Rafal, 12 Phoenix, Arizona Return to the Blog
