When was last time there were three Jewish players on team?

Not absolutely certain, but 1986, Lefko, Bernstein and Riebel (not sure of Riebel, but think so).
Chi Five!
At the time, those first two were called Tel Aviv Towers or The Bagel Brothers.
Shana Tova!

Happy New Year from me as well.
I believe the Tel Aviv Towers were Lefkowitz and a guy named Cohen. I think Neil Bernstein came later.
Rich Cohan was not Jewish.
All 3 were there in 1984-85. Cohan left and Riebel came in the next year
That was my freshman year.
Bernstein got homesick and transferred to Cal. I met his sister many years later when I lived in Los Angeles for a few years and they were part of our community there. At one point they actually lived in Utah (father or grandfather was a rabbi there), which was a very lonely existence.
Oh, and then check out the end of the reference here:
Well I was raised Catholic but am a quarter Jewish so I will raise a glass and toast also. Grandma only taught me curses in Yiddish so have nothing else I can say here.
That makes 2 of us.
