Junior Ella Elimelech “My favorite part of Hebrew heritage is that it is a community and we are all Israeli, so we have that shared experience.”

“My least favorite part is that we focus on old Hebrew and poetry, which isn’t practical for when we go back to Israel.”

Junior Matan Goldstein “My favorite part of Hebrew heritage is learning poetry because it is an embodiment of a person’s culture and emotions.”

“My least favorite part is that the class is very rushed and we don’t have enough time to cover many complex topics.”

“I don’t think there should be a dress code. We should be allowed to wear anything. We go to school to get an education and what you wear does not matter at all and if anyone is bothered or distracted by anyone’s choice of clothing that is their problem.”

“I think that they should be less strict about how long sleves on shirts are and how long shorts and pants are, because it’s not fair to restrict everyone so much.”

About to win

How a sophomore fenced her way to the Junior Olympics Kaylah Goldrich Sports Editor Francesca Reichbach’s épée whips through the air as she surges toward her opponent. Her coach’s voice reverberates in her mind.

“Raise your arm, raise your arm!”

She knows that this match is a gateway to larger competitions and competing on the world stage, so she must give it her all.

Francesca competed in the Junior Olympics in February 2022.

The Junior Olympics are held annually by the United States Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), and unlike the Olympics, are open only to American competitors and held in American cities. This year, they were held in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Francesca qualified for the women’s cadet épée, which is a division for fencers aged 16 and younger. There were initial ‘pool’ rounds where the fencer gets into a group and faces all of the people in their pool. After that, they were ranked on the pool round’s match results, and they then compete in direct elimination matches.

Although she did not end up winning a medal at the Junior Olympics, Francesca spoke highly of the experience.

“I knew it would be really awesome if I did [compete in the Junior

Olympics],” she said. “I really did want it, and I was just kind of like ‘this is really cool.’”

Jennifer Reichbach, Francesca’s mother, describes the atmosphere of the Junior Olympics as very encouraging and exciting. She was especially touched by the overwhelming support she saw from Francesca’s teammates.

“There was kind of an electricity in the air,” Jennifer said. “It was just very heartwarming and we were very happy for her.”

Despite the results, Francesca’s coach of five years, Janusz Smolenski, was very proud of her for qualifying. He understood the importance of this opportunity.

“I think [it] is a great success to qualify and participate in this competition,” Smolenski said. “It is her first step in her fencing career, so it is a very, very important step.”

According to Francesca, she has been fencing since elementary school, following in the footsteps of her older siblings. Her brother qualified for the Junior Olympics when he was her age; and still competes in college.

She trains two to three times a week and usually practices from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. However, in order to prepare for the Junior Olympics, Francesca had to dedicate many

additional hours to private lessons. She noted that practicing for the Junior Olympics varied greatly from regular practice, as it was more focused on actually fencing rather than merely just focusing on learning techniques.

“Instead of doing lessons where you are learning new things, they are lessons where I am… actually fencing my coaches… I was more ‘in the action’,” Francesca said. “...I did a lot more private lessons where I was fencing other fencers in my club and my coaches.”

To balance her training and her school work, Jennifer and Frankie set up a calendar to make sure everything was done ahead of time.

“I was like, ‘oh my god mom I can’t go, I have so much work’, and she was like, ‘no you have to go,’” Francesca said. “I never skipped [fencing practice], but it really was a stressful time in terms of work.”

After fencing at the Junior Olympics, Francesca has her eyes set on even larger competitions.

“A lot of my friends go international in Poland or Slovakia where there are actual Olympians there.

That would be pretty sick [to go international],” Francesca said.

Francesca Reichbach is fencing her opponent at the Junior Olympics. Fencing at such a high level requires discipline and attention to detail.

Supersetting the bar

Powerlifting hobby turned competitive for middle schooler Nini Panner Reporter When eighth-grader David Satloff entered the gym for his first ever powerlifting competition, he felt the pressure. He could feel the stares of the judges and hear the yells from the crowd. Now in only his first year of powerlifting, David is on the path to become one of the top powerlifters in his age group.

Competitive powerlifting consists of three attempts at a competitors’ maximum weight on three lifts: squat, bench press and deadlift. Whoever has the highest total weight in the three events wins.

What started in 2020 as a quarantine hobby became a full-time sport for David. While his baseball season was on pause due to COVID-19 restrictions, David decided to test out the weight lifting machines in his basement to maintain his strength. Soon after, he discovered his current passion for competitive powerlifting.

“The equipment that we had soon became inadequate and we bought a lot more equipment and more equipment and then eventually David outgrew that,” father Rob Satloff said. “On his own... he searched for and found the one youth powerlifting coach in the area and reached out to him.”

David reached out to Jonathan Jurewicz, the owner of 495 Strength and Performance Gym in Bethesda, MD. He now trains with him five times a week, which is a total of seven and a half hours with Jurewicz.

“The main goal for us is to basically have… a teenager-only training center that’ll allow kids to be the highest excellent athletes,” Jurewicz said. “What really makes it special is that you can come in here and just be like, I want to compete, but end up being part of that team.”

The team has become a very important part of the sport for David.

The team of powerlifters he trains with supports him throughout his training and competing.

“I personally love it. I’m by far the youngest powerlifter on our team and for basically five days a week I’m with other high schoolers, and it’s pretty awesome,” David said.

This year, David qualified for the USA Powerlifting High School Nationals in Chicago at the mere age of 14. The path to qualifying for national championships was unusual for David because there were so few competitions in his area. Jurewicz noted that powerlifting doesn’t offer many chances to compete in general, as there are typically only four meets a year in the Washington D.C. metro area. The number of competitions was even more limited during COVID-19 when David completed the bulk of his competitions.

The USA Powerlifting organization convenes the national competition every year. To qualify, a powerlifter must reach the total weight standard for their weight group in an official competition from the past year. Due to the limited number of competitions, David’s first qualifying meet was his only competition before making it to the national championships.

“The first time I competed, it was probably the scariest moment of my life,” David said.

Despite his nerves, David lifted personal bests in several events.

Jurewicz believes that the reason for David’s success is his self-motivated ambition for powerlifting and overall self-improvement.

“When David sets his mind to something, woe to that thing. He will accomplish it,” Rob said. “He will just work at it and work at it and work at it until he masters it…the sky is the limit [for David].”

Varsity Baseball Dance Team Co-Captain Gili Schisterman Sophomores Gili Schisterman and Abby Greenberg have both been dancing since they were young kids.

Fast forward to this year and they were ecstatic to take on the position as dance team co-captains. “I think once we get more people to join and spread the word about dance, I feel like it becomes something really big for the future,” Schisterman said. “Hopefully we can grow even more and kind of come together.” They are both so excited to watch the dance team expand in members and perform at KabShab as well as sports games.

Fun Fact: This is the first year the dance team has met in the spring season.

Co-Captain Ari Platt Juniors and team co-captains Ari Platt and Jonah Gross have been playing baseball their whole lives, however, this is their first real season on the varsity team. During their 9th and 10th grade years, they couldn’t have a normal season because of COVID-19, but now, in 11th grade, they are back and ready to lead their team. They said they have an amazing group of players and can’t wait to see people improve and have fun. “I’m really looking forward to making the most out of this season, working hard and really improving by putting in maximum effort,” Gross said.

“Hopefully we will end the season putting up a banner and going out in style because this is our last year playing JDS baseball.”

Varsity Boys Volleyball Co-Captain Joseph Kay The boys varsity volleyball feels that they are often overlooked at JDS, but this year, juniors and team co-captains Sammy Schrieber and Josef Kay are determined to change that. “I’m mostly excited to be part of a league, we have never been in a league during my time on the team so it will be nice to have regular games,” Kay said. Both captains have been on the team since eighth grade and can’t wait to play this year.

Plant-Based Burger Showdown “Beyond Burgers are simply better than Impossible. the texture, taste and overall experience is just better. It might not be the same as real meat, but it’s good protein nonetheless.”

- Junior Ruth Ella Karo “I really like the Impossible Burger from Burger King.”

- Freshman Noa Rabinowitz

“I love Impossible Burgers at restaurants especially when the burgers are made on a griddle and smashed down like a good fast food burger. However, at my house I always have Beyond Burgers at home because they are so easy to make.”

- Junior Devorah Freeman

“My favorite plant based burger is a homemade version that my sister made from scratch. My second favorite is Dr. Praeger’s spinach patties.”

- Sophomore Gabi Simon “Plant based burgers [are bad]. If you’re gonna eat a burger, eat a meat one or don’t eat one at all.”

- Junior Ella Sheintal
