Jews by

Choice

by Daniel Chejfec
Executive Director

Jewish Federation

 

once heard this story about Arthur Greenhill (a Jew from

Chicago), and his newly wedded wife Constance (a Jew

from Moscow). During their honeymoon in Europe, they

were looking for a place to stay, but all the hotels in this
European city were full. All but one. This Hotel, however,
had a sign clearly stating that it will not accept Jews.
Arthur then told his wife: “let me do the talking, because if
you open your mouth, they’ll find out immediately that we
are Jews.” So Constance kept her mouth shut, and the
registration proceeded without a single hitch.
The next morning, Constance goes down to the pool, but
when she dives in, the water is too cold, and caught off
guard, she yells “0y Vey.” Seeing how everybody at the
pool is looking at her, she adds “vatever dat means.”

When our ancestors lived in the old country, a long time
ago, this story would have been unthinkable...Jews were
Jews, they lived together and they were not allowed to , 've _._‘
among the gentiles. Since _\ on \\ cic born into Ll C(lll‘iliiiliill} - -~ .,
—Jewish in this case—that is where you spent your life.
Unless, of course, you decided to abandon your community
and even convert—and there were many who did just that.
You had, however, to take conscious action. If you did
nothing, you remained Jewish and people saw you as a Jew.
To be seen as a non Jew, you had to take action—conver-
sion or otherwise.

After the Emancipation at the end of the XVIII and
beginning of the XIX Century, however, Jews left the
Ghetto and the equation began to change. For Jews who
came to America, this change was even faster. Today, after
several advances and setbacks, some of them very painful,
American Jews are by and large seen as Americans. Only if
you identify yourself (“0y Vey”), your J ewishness becomes
evident. You need to make a conscious effort to remain
Jewish. This is, in other words, the opposite of the old
paradigm. If our great great grandparents did nothing
special, they remained Jewish. If we do nothing special, we
become “hidden Jews” at best, and our children will not
see Judaism as an integral part of their lives—or even
consider it a burden.

To be a Jew in XXI Century America, we need to take
action. We need to actively engage in Jewish life and
translate our Jewish convictions and beliefs into action. We
need to volunteer. We need to express our opinions and
convictions. We need to be actively engaged in a dialogue
mth our fellow Jews through Jewish community life,’and in

THE GREATEST

by Michael E. Adelstcin

 

efore this year’s baseball season

fades completely from memory, let

me take you back to the second
game of the World Series between the
Yankees and the Braves. What made that
game captivating from the TV audience’s
point of view was the pre-game ceremony
honoring the so-called A11 Century Team.

Stealing that show was the interview of
Pete Rose conducted by the brash NBC
reporter Jim Gray. (Now I’m not one of
Pete’s defenders, but I do feel that he should
have appeared with the others because of his
record as baseball‘s all—time hit leader and
because he was chosen by the fans.)

However, that’ s besides my story. I was
glued to the TV. hoping to watch an interview
with Willie Mays, the most exciting all-
around player I have seen, or with the
greatest Jewish player of the century, Sandy
Koufax.

What—you’ve never heard of Koufax?
Tut, tut, you youngsters. Gather round and let
me tell you the tale of one of baseball’s
greatest pitchers of the century, who was
honored years ago by being elected to

' Baseball’ 5 Hall of Fame and then was
, recently selected to be on this All-Century

Team.

Growing up in New York City, I had my
choice of rooting for the Giants, Dodgers, or
Yankees. I became a Giant fan because of
the prowess of Carl Hubbell, the famous
screwball pitcher who struck out J immy
Foxx, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Al Simmons,
and Joe Cronin in the first three innings of an
All-Star game; of Bill Terry. who was the
last National League .400 hitter; and Mel
Ott,who ranks among the top all-time home
run hitters; plus Bobby Thomson, who hit the
home run heard around the world. But being
Jewish, 1 also rooted for the Jewish kid from
Brooklyn, Sandy Koufax.

During his first six years as a Dodger,
Koufax suffered from unbelievable wildness
while developing a sweeping curve and
blazing fastball, which probably was close to

100 miles an hour in these pre-spced gun days.
(At age fifty, in a Dodger batting practice, his
fast ball was clocked at 90 miles an hour.)

But being a bonus baby and jumping from
the University of Cincinnati at 19, Koufax was
not allowed by the rules at that time to gain
experience in the minors. Unable to pitch
frequently, he struggled for six years before
becoming one of the most feared pitchers in
baseball. Then he compiled an amazing
record.

He won 129 games and lostjust 47 from
1961-66. During this period, he threw one
perfect game and three other no-hitters. He led
the National League in strike-outs four times
and had the lowest earned run average five
times. In 1963, 1965, and 1966 he won the Cy
Young Award. In 1963 he was selected as the
most valuable player and in the same year and
again in 1965, he was voted the World Series’
most valuable player. In that season, he struck
out 382 batters, a feat few pitchers have
bettered.

Unlbmmately, Koulax developed animus in
his pitching elbow in 1966. He was thirty,
probably having at least five great baseball
years ahead of him. But he couldn‘t straighten
out his arm except when he pitched. It was
curved so much that he had to learn to shave
with his right hand. Even the frequent shots of
cortisone provided little relief. The only thing
that helped was soaking his arm in ice water for
30 minutes after he pitched. Doctors warned
that he was risking permanent damage to the
arm if he continued playing.

Despite the excruciating pain, Sandy started
seven times in the last 26 days of his career,
compiling five complete-game victories, a
World Series loss, and an 1.07 ERA. With two
days rest, he clinched the pennant for the LA
Dodgers for the second straight year.

But he refused to pitch on the Jewish high
holy days during the World Series. That’s one
reason why “Sports Illustrated” featured him
recently in an article entitled “The Left Arm of
God” and stated that he was the most dominant
player of his time, being “the pitcher perfect on
the field or off.”

Another publication praised him by writing
that he “put the team before self, modesty
before fame, and God before the World Se-

Koufax continued from page 4

In a l980s poll of 5,000 living baseball players with 645
responding. Koufax was ranked second behind Bob Feller as
the toughest pitcher the players faced. He was followed by
Ewell Blackwell, Bob Gibson. Nolan Ryan, and Carl
Hubbell. But Koufax led all others as the best southpaw.
followed by Lefty Grove, Warren Spahn, Steve Carlton, Carl
Hubbell. and Whity Ford. Babe Ruth (remember, he started
as a pitcher) tied for 13th toughest.

Off the field, Koufax was an unusual player. He went to
concerts and the theater, ate at the finest restaurants, golfed at
exclusive clubs, and read good books. He was a private person,
avoiding crowds, preferring to fade from sight off the field.
Everyone spoke highly ofhim as a person.

Although today there are some fine Jewish baseball players,
such as the All-Star reserves: Shawn Green (Toronto), Brad
Ausmus (Detroit), and Mike Liberthal (Philadelphia), there‘s
only one Sandy Koufax—a real mensch. s

EVERY NEW BEGINNING...

by Shane O’Connor
I know it’s been a while since you all last heard from me. To tell you the truth, it’s been a while

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

since I’ve last heard from me as well. That’s how busy I am at college.

College is a lot different than I expected though. I only have a few classes, which don’t
meet all that often, and really don’t assign too much homework. So why am I so busy then?
Well, the classes and homework themselves take up time, plus a few of my classes have
these things called “labs,” which I now know is short for “labor, as in heavy.” Not to men-
tion that beyond that I have my work-study job. Why they actually call it work-study is
beyond me, since so far we’ve focused totally on the work and not at all on the study. All in
all, it’s a pretty heavy workload.

Of course, college does have its up sides. Namely, the girls. They are everywhere! You
go to lunch; they’re there. You go out for a walk; they‘re there. You step out in the hall in

1 your dorm to walk downstairs, and they’re therelh’ 3 like some sort of beautiful dream.

There’s also the free
