Hank Greenberg's Dilemma: Pray or Play
About the Event
Join us for a program presented by Arnold Weiss. In 1934, long before Sandy Koufax faced a difficult choice, Hank Greenberg had to decide whether to play baseball or observe Yom Kippur. As America’s first Jewish sports superstar, he bravely confronted antisemitism during the Great Depression and World War II. His journey paved the way for other sports legends like Jackie Robinson, who also battled racism. This is a powerful story of faith, integrity, and cultural resilience, perfect for fans of baseball and history alike!
