Tanenbaum CHAT is hosting teams from five schools for the return of the Israel Becker Basketball Tournament.
Boys and girls teams from Bialik in Montreal, Beth Tfiloh in Baltimore, Jewish Day School in Rockville, MD and the Leo Baeck Educational Center in Haifa will join the host Tigers along with the boys team from Elitzur Petach Tikvah.
The tournament is in memory of Israel Becker, a 1988 CHAT graduate and varsity basketball player. He died in a car crash in 1994 and the first tournament was held the following year.
Round robin play involving the Toronto and Israeli teams began Friday. The rest of the preliminary games will be Sunday afternoon through Tuesday afternoon, with the semifinals Tuesday night and the finals Wednesday morning.
