Kesher Israel Book Club- American Jews and An American Game: Voices of a Growing Legacy in Baseball
Saturday, April 11, 2015 • 22 Nisan 5775
4:00 PM - 5:30 PMPlease join the Kesher Israel Book Club at our April meeting.
We will be discussing American Jews and An American Game: Voices of a Growing Legacy in Baseball by Larry Ruttman.
Most fans don’t know how far the Jewish presence in baseball extends beyond a few famous players such as Greenberg, Rosen, Koufax, Holtzman, Green, Ausmus, Youkilis, Braun, and Kinsler. The life stories of these and many others, on and off the field, have been compiled from nearly fifty in-depth interviews and arranged by decade in this edifying and entertaining work of oral and cultural history. In American Jews and America’s Game each person talks about growing up Jewish and dealing with Jewish identity, assimilation, intermarriage, future viability, religious observance, anti-Semitism, and Israel. Each tells about being in the midst of the colorful pantheon of players who, over the past seventy-five years or more, have made baseball what it is. Their stories tell, as no previous book has, the history of the larger-than-life role of Jews in America’s pastime. (Summary provided by goodreads)
