O knihe
Baseballs, Basketballs and Matzah Balls offers a sweeping exploration of sports: of contests and heroes, of triumph and adversity, and how they relate to the festivals that Jews have celebrated for thousands of years.
Among the chapters:
Remembering Simpler Times: What central message of Sukkot is enthusiastically espoused by winning college coaches?
Kindling the Light of Confidence: What Hanukkah teaches us about the kind of confidence that builds champions?
A Purim Perspective on Competitive Anger: Why so many athletes lose their cool, just like the villainous Haman did, becoming their own worst enemies?
Coach K and the Meaning of Passover: How Mike Krzyzewski's success explains the Exodus?
"A compelling, entertaining, illuminating work that will stir the hearts and intellect of Jews and non-Jews alike."
- Seth Davis, Sports Illustrated/CBS Sports
"Rabbi Mitch Smith has written a book that gives all sports fans occasion to think about the meaning of sacrifice, teamwork, leadership and other virtues in a different light.
- Bud Selig, Commissioner, Major League Baseball
"This book is a great read! It offers all of us a roadmap to becoming more fulfilled human beings
- Lenny Krayzelburg, 4-time Olympic Gold Medalist
"Informative, insightful, inspirational... Mitch Smith scores on every level with this tonic for the soul."
- Tim Green, former defensive end, Atlanta Falcons, Fox Sports NFL analyst
"A MUST-READ! Mitch Smith brings age-old texts to life, and conveys how concepts like team work, resilience, and refusing to succumb to defeat -- mainstays in sports -- not only allowed the Jewish people to weather history's storms, but to constantly engage in self-renewal. To paraphrase the old Levy's Rye Bread ad, you don't have to be Jewish to love this book."
