Good morning to all. It is the morning after the Opening Ceremony and now it is time to recap the event. I must tell you, like all previous ones, it was a very long day. We gathered in our hotel lobby to bus over to the site for the ceremony at 1:15 pm. We eventually departed about 2:30 pm and arrived at the holding area at 2:45 pm. We then went to the holding area until about 7:30 pm and then began the procession towards the stadium to march in as a delegation. By the time we marched into your Teddy Stadium in Jerusalem, it was after 9:30 pm. So it was a very congested and long build up to the actual marching in. But, once we entered the stadium with over 35,000 people in the stands cheering, the goose bumps returned, as that moment is a wonderful and exhilarating moment in time as the previous three were. It is truly hard to put into words all the emotions one feels when representing your country on such a large platform with so many others. it continues to be a spectacle beyond imagination and emotions. The best way for me to try and explain just a little bit is through some photos I took as we marched in and during the extravaganza. We returned to our hotel about 11:45 pm. Today we rest all morning and then have a light training session at 3:00 pm to prepare for our very hard game with Great Britain on Sunday at 9:00 am. We need a good result to lock down our spot in the quarter finals before we play Australia on Monday morning at 9 am to conclude the group play. So until Sunday, I will say goodbye for noe and let you enjoy the moment of the Opening Ceremony through the following photos. Evin Nadaner, was honored from our team by carrying the Maccabi USA Banner into the stadium and here is that wonderful photo. I was extremely proud to have one of our players honored in such a tremendous way. In the photos from top to bottom, they are Evin Nadaner far right holding the banner after marching in; me and Dr. Marc Backal; Kovi Konowiecki, Aaron Franco and me; me, Jake Rozhansky, Kovi, Stephen Elias, Aaron, Josh Haberman, Max Kurtzman and Ryan Jones; Aaron on shoulder of one of our players singing and exciting the group; some of the crowd in stadium; Fireworks; Fireworks, marching in; me with my German hat given to me by a friend on the German Team who played at Fortuna Düsseldorf and against us in 2013; me, Mike Erush, coach of Masters 35 team and Wendi Whitman, coach of our women's open team; our group again.
