Congregation Ezra Bessaroth
Family Chanuka Party - Dec. 11, 2004
One of the highlights of our Chanuka party this year was Rabbi Cohen-Scali accepting
the challenge by Isaac Behar (Son of Dale & Helene) to a Sumo Wrestling match
Aware of his significant height
and weight advantage and
fortified by Havdala wine, the
Rabbi was confident of victory.
 He was also perhaps a bit
overdressed.
The Rabbi decides to lose the
necktie and concentrates instead
on his strategy.
The battle was fierce and both
warriors were worthy.  But in
the end sheer girth overcame the
exuberance and inexperience of
youth.
Ever the gentleman, even in
victory, Rabbi Cohen Scali
shakes hands with his young
opponent.  Isaac says he is now
training for a rematch at next
year's Chanuka party.
