DRUMROLL PLEASE…dum…dum… dum… dum…dum!!! Ladies and Gentlemen!!! Boys and Girls!!! The moment you’ve all been waiting for… YBY TRIP 2!!!! Hey Yachadians my name is Efraim (that’s right, an F not a PH) Wiener. I hail from the Teaneck of the Midwest, Memphis, Tennessee. In case you all/ya’ll were wondering, no, I have not been to Graceland (Elvis’ house located 15 min from my house), but I have been to the gift shop. My favorite pastime in my hometown is taking a nice stroll through the corn fields or riding in the back of my friend’s pickup truck. I went to a bunch of camps, ranging from Kaylie, Moshava, Camp HASC, Camp Mom (it’s where you stay at home and do groceries), and NCSY Kollel. In 2nd Grade, I placed fifteenth in my class Spelling Bee and haven’t looked back since. I have lots of skills that have taken years to perfect. I can knock down from behind the basket (Yah, I only practiced trick shots in high school), play the ukulele (well at least one song), can make a mean sandwich, and dodge cars (except the time when I got hit). In Cooper Yeshiva High School for Boys, I was the Class President of the Mid Class Starbucks and Ice Cream Runs Club and was even elected back to back terms. Additionally, I have spent the last two years at Yeshivas Hakoisel in the Old City of JLM. I’ve spent most of my time pounding away, but occasionally, I slip out for a nice run. I actually placed 670 out of 3000 people in my age group at the Jerusalem marathon and received a participation medal for it. Next year, I’ll be heading to YU, but before that, I’m looking forward to a wild summer. In the words of my favorite anchorman, stay classy Trip 2!!!!!
