After a year of competition, studying, and arguing, the Rambam Rhetoric Team concluded their national qualifiers with competitions debating everything from philosophy to our national holiday policy.
In the end, the Rhetoric Ravens earned 5 seats at the 2025 National Tournament in Des Moines, Iowa. First, Yoni Pfeifer and Henach Barningham won the Public Forum Debate competition. They argued about whether or not the US should join the International Criminal Court. Additionally, Yoni Kogan gave a great performance which allowed for him to be selected to the World School’s Debate team. In that competition, David Mastour and Daniel Stein also qualified for Nationals in the Senate and the House respectively.
The team is now preparing to excel at the national tournament in June!
