From Super Bowl to Super Alan Veingrad is the only person in the history of professional team sports to become a fully Torah-observant Jew. And he was not just any player, but a member of the Super Bowl XXVII champion Dallas Cowboys. Today he has traded in his helmet for a yarmulke, his uniform for tzitzis and his clean-shaven, all-American face for a long, graying Jewish beard. Instead of playing to the cheers of 70,000 crazed fans and millions of viewers, he travels around inspiring Jews of all types to take upon themselves a life of Torah and mitzvos. He is truly the stuff of champions.… From Super Bowl To Super Shimon Rosenberg Jew Rachel March 70 | ZMAN • July 2011 ZMAN • Tammuz 5771 | 71 t was a hot summer’s day in 1986.

At pre -game prayer sessions, when my teammates would join hands and recite the Lord's Prayer, I would say my own silent WHAT BEING prayer, a Jewish prayer. As a Dallas Cowboy and member of the Super Bowl championship team of 1992, I got JEWISH MEANS to play for coach Jimmy Johnson and protect the now legendary quarterback Troy Aikman. Being Jewish left me open to a fair amount of TONE good- natured ribbing and kidding, more the by- product of insensitivity than of malice. In the rough and tumble environment of an NFL team, a Jew is an outsider. Most meaningful to me is Judaism's strong emphasis on family and celebration, passed down to my brother and me by our parents. Among my warmest memories are Passover seders, when family and friends would join together to retell the story of our people's liberation from slavery, or during Hanukkah, our festival of light and freedom, with its beautiful rituals, food, and songs. These holidays and others, and the weekly celebration of the Shabbat, bring us added joy and meaning and help us to renew Judaism and ourselves. I always knew in my heart that I would marry a Jewish woman with whom I could share my love for Judaism and build a Jewish family. When newcomers move into our neighborhood, Marla and I welcome them Alan Veingrad into our home for a Shabbat or holiday meal.
