New "Junior Maccabiah" Website
Maccabiah Israel just opened a new separate website to focus on the "Junior" games. If you can get past the obvious Hebrew-English translation issues, the site provides some insights into what the experience will be like. http://junior.maccabiah.com/default.asp
Also, there's a big announcement on the Maccabiah website that tickets have gone on sale for the opening ceremonies! Very exciting.

Cherry Bowl - January 3, 2009
On Saturday, 1/3/09, Elana competed at the Cherry Bowl invitational meet at Cherry Hill Gymnastics. It was a small meet and Elana placed 3rd all-around with a season-high 34.55 total. This included her first "9" of the season, a 9.15 on the Floor Exercise which was good enough for 1st place. She also finished 3rd on the balance beam with a season-high 8.6 and no falls!
Next meet will come at nationally known "Parkettes" in Allentown, PA where the competition is usually substantially higher and college scouts actually look in on the level 10's and "elites". We'll keep you posted.
