This past week was the beginning of the YCQ 2022-2023 debate season. The Yeshiva Debate League is run by Commissioner Waterman, who sends the resolutions to all the participating yeshivah day schools (HANC, Moriah, BPY, HAFTR, Noam, JKHA, Yavneh, and the Yeshiva of Central Queens). The YCQ Debate Team is coached by Mr. Miles Ehrenkranz, who led the team to victory in last year’s championship and debates. “Debate competition exercises our brains and therefore improves multiple skill sets. The increased ability to think critically, as well as more swiftly, are skills that exhibit themselves in debate competition. But what sets YCQ apart, and places us in position to win numerous individual and team awards, is our constant focus on improving.
