Barbara,
I love the theme of Jews in sport for the One-Synagogue-One-Book program. It
engages all age groups and genders.
The list that I‘v sent before is only a sample.
When we celebrate Jews in sport we must remember the 11 Israeli athletes that
were murdered in Munich on 1972. The memory of that day is still fresh in my
mind. I was on a bus in Tel Aviv. There was not even one passenger with dry
eyes. The thought of young Israelis in Europe (as opposite to a picture of a
Jew as a victim) being shot with their hands tied behind their back was hard
to imagine.
In 2005 Sony Pictures Home Entertainment produced the DVD 21 HOURS IN
MUNICH. Simon Reeve book in 2000 One day in September: the full story of the
1972 Munich Olympics massacre and the Israeli revenge operation "Wrath of God"
. Other movies deal with the Israeli retaliation well. I prefer to show only
the part of the assignation of the athletes.
One little correction to my list. I listed collective biographies, but added
Anne Dublin’s book Bobbie Rosenfeld The Olympian who could do everything. .
Anne is an AJL member and an award winning author. I could not resist it.
Best of luck.

Thanks, Amalia! We have an older edition of Great Jews in Sports and none of
the others. Will look.

Subject: [ha-Safran] Jews in sports
We're looking into doing Jews in Sports for next year's theme instead of
One-Synagogue-One-Book.
We're looking for books and other materials for young and old that aren't
about Hank Greenberg or Sandy Koufax or Lipman Pike. In fact, we'd like to go
outside baseball, and maybe even find some women if there are any. Fiction
would be good too, but can't think of anything between The Natural and The Art
of Fielding, and the only thing Jewish about those is their authors. We need to
broaden our horizons! Please shower ideas on us!
Thanks!
