Pray Ball!
The Spiritual Insights of a Jewish Sports Fan
By Rabbi James Gordon
(164 Pages)Publisher: Gefen, 1999
The first of its kind! A collection of over 20 spiritual-Jewish messages each using sports events, figures and analogies as as illustrations. It is divided into eight chapters pertaining to the sports-related topics of: baseball, basketball, football, hockey, golf, sports agency, the Olympics, and leaders and heroes.
This is a reminder that sports can indeed reinforce such important traditional Jewish lessons as respect, proper leadership, team play, fairness, philanthropy, hard work and understanding one's limitations.
