JL;DR SUMMARY An Israeli high school basketball team from the Eshkol Regional Council in Israel, torn apart by the Oct. 7 attack, reunited in New York as part of an initiative by Project 24, providing the teammates with a much-needed opportunity to spend time together after being dispersed across temporary housing in Israel. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
