Prior to his time at Yeshiva University, Palefski attended the Marsha Stern Talmudical Academy (MTA), where he made significant contributions to high school basketball. As a senior, he broke several Jewish High School League scoring records, including:
• Points per game (PPG): 26.5
• Points in a single game: 51
• Total points in one season: 530
His outstanding performance earned him the Jewish High School League MVP award, and he became the first Yeshiva League player to be named to the New York Post’s All-Prep team. 
Palefski’s legacy continues to be remembered within the Yeshiva University community for his athletic talent and the impact he made during his brief time at the institution.
