Nearly everyone knows the story of Sandy Koufax choosing not to pitch in the 1965 World Series because the game fell on Yom Kippur. But Koufax’s Jewish identity, and the values that shaped him, run far deeper than that single iconic decision.

Rabbi Lexi Erdheim will explore how the legendary Dodgers pitcher embodied humility, integrity, and a profound sense of responsibility, both as a player and as a person. Through stories from his remarkable career and life, we will discover why Sandy Koufax remains not only one of baseball’s greatest pitchers, but an enduring example of what it means to live one’s Jewish values every day.

Lunch: Chicken shawarma, hummus, Israeli salad, coleslaw, and brownies. A vegetarian option will be available.
