Best Look Inc.: Handymen & Professional Cleaning Service By Austin Torres July 28, 2021 Share Are you searching for a new handy man? Do you have drapery, rugs, tile, or some kind of carpet that is in dire need of cleaning or restoration? Then consider hiring Amir, Mike, Eliya and his remarkable team at Best Look to handle the job. Amir has been providing handyman and professional cleaning services since 1997 and prides himself on the work he and his associates do for their clients. The team at Best Look is determined to go out of their way to put the bounce and life back into your carpets and leave your tiles looking like mirrors. Amir has been delivering on this promise to clients since 1997. Prior to opening his own business, he worked alongside a friend and together they provided handyman and professional cleaning services. It was not long before he fell in love with the business and decided he would want to branch off and have his own company. “I started loving this job and since then, I haven’t stopped,” says Amir. Soon after, Amir began working at another company where he spent nearly 10 years gaining substantial experience in the industry, before finally opening his own business with a team that includes his son. Since then, they have dedicated themselves to delivering customer service that is unrivaled in the industry. Several of the diverse services provided by Best Look are essential to keeping your furniture and home décor in tip-top shape. Drapes for example, are a staple for many homes, but are difficult to care for, so they are often written off whenever they are damaged. It takes a highly experienced and dedicated team of workers to properly clean and restore drapes. Amir and his team are equipped for this kind of work and will go the extra mile to ensure that everything is done to leave drapes looking new. For those of you who have tile in your home, this might just be the right time to call Amir and the team at Best Look, so they can come by and polish that floor for you. The process of polishing, not only leaves your floor looking clean, shiny, and reflective, but it also adds protection as well. To keep your tile floor looking alive and beautiful, it is recommended that you have your floor professionally polished once or twice a year. Hire Best Look to handle this for you and give your floor the sparkle it deserves. Cleaning grout is another difficult and time-consuming task that is better left to the professionals at Best Look. Unkept grout can lead to the dangerous development of mold and mildew, and the process of cleaning it, can be exhausting and frustrating, especially when the stains deeply set into the material. Amir and his team are professionals who know just the right cleaners to apply in the most efficient manner to leave your grout looking brilliant again. When you hire Best Look for this job, you save yourself time and stress and can rest easy knowing the job will be done right. Cleaning and taking care of carpet and upholstery is yet another delicate and time-consuming task for homeowners. Certain fabrics and furniture items can be complicated to deal with. Using the wrong cleaning products on fabrics can lead to blemish and wear and tear that could make your treasured furniture look old and defeated. When you hire professionals like the team at Best Look you are paying for a service that comes equipped with years of experience dealing with a multitude of various materials and fabrics. Not only will Best Look go above and beyond to deliver the best professional cleaning services, but they will also use the proper cleaning techniques and products to ensure you and your family are safe. Many cleaning products may contain harmful chemicals, so it is of the utmost importance to ensure that the products and processes used are safe for your children, family, and pets. If you want to make sure that your furniture and upholstery are cleaned the right way, then you can count on Best Look to get the job done for you. Besides professional cleaning services, Best Look also offers other handyman services. Amir and his team are always eager to assist clients. Amir’s favorite part of his job is delivering the service and seeing his clients happy, after the job has been done. “Servicing people and making them happy. After the job is done seeing the customer smile and appreciate the work means the world to me,” says Amir. Among the many handymen out there, few have the kind of integrity and passion for their work that Amir and his team at Best Look have. If you are interested in learning more about their services, then the best way to reach out is to contact Amir personally at his phone number: 954.888.8638. You can also contact them at their email: bestlookinc@gmail.com . < Previous News Next News >

Aventura Seeks Players: To Join its Youth Travel Soccer Teams July 26, 2023 Share As parents, we all want the best for our children - a life filled with growth, learning, and meaningful experiences. Youth Travel Soccer Teams offer a pathway to precisely that. Beyond the thrill of the game and the roar of the crowd, these teams unlock a treasure trove of benefits that extend far beyond the Soccer Field. From fostering Essential Life Skills to creating lifelong friendships, being part of a Youth Travel Soccer Team can transform children into well-rounded individuals. One of the most apparent advantages of belonging to a Youth Travel Soccer Team is the improvement in Physical Health and Fitness. Regular Training Sessions and competitive matches keep children active, promoting Cardiovascular Health, strength, and agility. In a time when Childhood Obesity Rates are on the rise, Soccer provides an engaging way to keep kids moving and develop healthy habits that can last a lifetime. Being part of a Soccer Team instills the value of teamwork and cooperation. Players learn that success is not just about individual talent, but about how well the team works together. They develop Communication Skills, the ability to listen to others, and the art of compromise - all of which are crucial in any aspect of life, whether in Academics, the Workplace, or Personal Relationships. Youth Travel Soccer Teams often compete in Tournaments and Leagues that bring together players from Diverse Backgrounds and Cultures. This exposure fosters an appreciation for diversity, encouraging children to embrace different perspectives and build friendships with people from various walks of life. These multicultural experiences can shape open-minded and empathetic individuals. Within the team, leaders naturally emerge. Captains and experienced players take on leadership roles, guiding and motivating their peers. This sense of responsibility nurtures leadership skills that can be transferred to any sphere of life, preparing children to become confident and capable leaders in their communities and beyond. Aventura's Team The City of Aventura’s Travel Soccer Teams have available Team Member spots for interested boys and girls ages 5-16 that are willing to commit and play through the season, which runs August 2023 through May 2024.

Keller’s Korner - World Baseball Classic By Neil Keller Apr 23, 2026 Welcome Back To Keller’s Korner. Another Thrilling World Baseball Classic Has Wrapped Up, With The Semi‑Finals And Finals Taking Place At loanDepot Park In Miami. In A Dramatic Championship Game, Eugenio Suarez Delivered A Clutch RBI Double In The Top Of The Ninth To Lift Venezuela To A 3–2 Victory Over Team USA. A Lively Crowd Of 36,490 Watched The Action, Including A Two‑Run Homer From Bryce Harper. But as always in Keller’s Korner, I research the Jewish angle and must ask: How did the Jewish players perform at the 2026 WBC? Jewish Players Around the Tournament Team USA – Alex Bregman Alex Bregman of the Chicago Cubs represented Team USA but struggled at the plate, going 2‑for‑14 for a .143 average. Several other Jewish American Major Leaguers—including Max Fried of the New York Yankees—opted not to participate in this year’s tournament. Team Mexico – Rowdy Tellez Rowdy Tellez, whose mother is Jewish and father is of Mexican descent, played first base for Team Mexico. Now with the Atlanta Braves, Tellez finished the tournament hitting .111 (1‑for‑9) with two walks and two strikeouts. Team Israel: A Tournament to Be Proud Of Team Israel entered Pool D facing a gauntlet of powerhouse teams—Venezuela and the Dominican Republic—along with Nicaragua and the Netherlands. Despite having fewer Major Leaguers than their opponents, Israel exceeded expectations and finished third in the pool with a 2–2 record, securing automatic qualification for the 2030 WBC. Brad Ausmus, former All‑Star catcher and current New York Yankees bench coach, managed the squad. He told MLB.com that the team felt tremendous support throughout the tournament: “We see everything up on the scoreboard — people wearing Israeli T‑shirts or holding the Israeli flag. The hope is more players become interested in playing for Israel. Every time an Israeli team wins a baseball game in a big tournament like this, it helps.” Israel’s roster featured MLB players Dean Kremer, Harrison Bader, Spencer Horwitz, Garrett Stubbs, and Robert Stock, along with a strong supporting cast. Ausmus, Kevin Youkilis, Jason Marquis, and others brought invaluable Major League experience to the dugout. Game‑by‑Game Breakdown Game 1: Venezuela 11, Israel 3 Despite the loss, Israel produced memorable moments. Harrison Bader (SF Giants) launched a ninth‑inning home run. RJ Schreck (Toronto Blue Jays) added a solo shot in the sixth. Zach Levenson (St. Louis Cardinals) collected two hits. Game 2: Israel 5, Nicaragua 0 A dominant performance. Dean Kremer (Baltimore Orioles) threw over four scoreless innings to set the tone. Game 3: Dominican Republic 10, Israel 1 Israel fell to a stacked Dominican lineup. Spencer Horwitz (Pittsburgh Pirates) provided the lone run with a fourth‑inning home run. Game 4: Israel 6, Netherlands 2 Israel closed the tournament strong. Jake Gelof (LA Dodgers) drove in three runs. Matt Mervis (Washington Nationals) added two RBIs. Noah Mendlinger (St. Louis Cardinals) led the team with a .455 batting average. The roster featured 30 players: 17 pitchers, two catchers, six infielders, and five outfielders—including a rare brother duo, C.J. Stubbs (Toronto Blue Jays) and Garrett Stubbs (Philadelphia Phillies). Voices of Team Israel – Pre‑Tournament Reflections Ari Ackerman - Minority Owner, Miami Marlins “I’m here to help Team Israel. We’re working on a documentary—this will be the third one. I couldn’t be more excited.” Jake Gelof - LA Dodgers First WBC appearance. “I’m soaked. Super excited.” Adam Gladstone - Director of Baseball Operations Involved since 2012. “This is my third WBC and every time it is more exciting.” Noah Mendlinger - St. Louis Cardinals “Yes, I played in the last WBC. I love representing the flag.” Matt Mervis - Washington Nationals From Potomac, Maryland. “It’s an honor to play for Team Israel.” Barry Weinberg - Head Trainer With Team Israel since 2012. “It’s the greatest stage in the world.” Kevin Youkilis - Bench Coach “It is something special. There’s a lot of energy with our team.” Michael Hoffman - President & CEO, Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County “We are excited for them to be here, especially with what is going on in Israel now.” Randi Salko - COO in Boca Raton Inspired by her father’s love of the Brooklyn Dodgers. “This is my first Team Israel game. I feel very welcome. I love that they played both national anthems.” Final Thoughts Every player, coach, and fan I met radiated pride and passion for Team Israel. Their 2–2 finish, their resilience, and their spirit made this WBC a meaningful success. With continued growth and visibility, I expect Jewish players to make an even bigger impact at the 2030 World Baseball Classic. Neil Keller is a Jewish historian.
