JUF, Deerfield High Lacrosse team up to aid at-risk youth in Israel

Used and surplus equipment, uniforms delivered to fledgling squad for Israeli teens in need

Deerfield resident Jay Tcath arranged for the Deerfield High School Lacrosse Team, through Coach Chip Seiple, to donate thousands of dollars of used and surplus equipment to a just-forming lacrosse team for at-risk youth in the Israeli town of Kiryat Gat.

The equipment was delivered for the Jewish United Fund in early June by Tcath, JUF’s executive vice president, as well as Highland Park residents Michael and Ellen Steinberg and Glencoe resident Scott Bakal, among others.
