On this series, we’ve explored sports as a tool for American Jews to assimilate into their broader communities, to establish and pass down family traditions, and even how sports can be a love language for us. But what if sports is quite literally a way we can tell a rich story of Jewish identity? This episode focuses on how sports have acted as a c…

Jews don’t have to go pro in sports to love them, and nothing demonstrates that amateur love more than dedicating a whole lifecycle event to it. On this episode, we’re diving into the sports-themed bar mitzvah—and, of course, the coveted shoutout from a professional athlete—and what the confluence of sports and this rite of passage tells us about J…

This series has so far focused on the bright spots, the moments that Jewish athletes and storylines have made us proud. But not all stories about Jews in sports are the ones we want splashed in the headlines. On this episode, we confront an uncomfortable subject: Jewish team owners behaving badly. We explore the concept of shondas, and how we feel …

While many Jewish kids dream of growing up to become iconic Jewish athletes like Dolph Schayes or Sandy Koufax, the numbers aren’t exactly on our side. This episode is about all the ways Jews have found careers in the game without playing the game—how they professionalized their passion and forged their own path to the Promised Land, in large part …

If baseball is the most Jewish of sports, then there is nothing more Jewish than the New York Mets. There are scores of Jewish Mets fans, and Citi Field even has kosher concession stands. But it goes deeper than that: the Mets are the most metaphysically Jewish team. Loving the Mets means wandering the desert, suffering, season after season—and nev…

In the 1990s, basketball dominated popular culture. There were the six-time NBA champion Chicago Bulls, the 1992 Olympic Dream Team, and the movie Space Jam—and the face of all of it was Michael Jordan. Everyone wanted to be like Mike, even the Jews. Enter Tamir Goodman, a 16-year-old Orthodox Jew playing at Talmudical Academy in Pikesville, MD. Hi…

Sandy Koufax is a Jewish hero less for his Hall of Fame talent on the mound than for the one day he stayed off it: Yom Kippur, 1965. His decision to sit out Game 1 of the World Series, in his prime and with America’s eyes on him, is a Genesis moment. And so our series begins with Sandy: Who he was, how he became an avatar for Jewish Americans, and …
