This past Sunday, the Rambam Rhetoric Ravens participated in an all- day Model Congress Competition hosted by the Citron Online District. Students discussed everything from Grants for Tree Planting Initiatives to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, along with many bills submitted by Rambam students (including one on vote incentivization and another on buying Greenland or turning it “red, white, and blue”).

The competition was divided into pre-elimination rounds and the final elimination round. All Rambam students qualified for the final round, a feat unmatched by most schools. In addition to that, Daniel Stein (Rambam senior) served as a presiding officer, managing decorum and speech times in both rounds, while also competing and writing speeches. In the end, Daniel came in 1st Place in the entire competition.

Now, the Rhetoric Ravens turn towards preparing for the qualifying competition for the National Tournament in Des Moines, Iowa.
