  • Ruttm An, Larry. American Jews and America's Game
    R u t t m a n , L a r r y . American Jews and America's Game: Voices o f a Growing Legacy in Base­ ball. Foreward by B ud Selig. Lincoln: University o f Nebraska Press, 2013. Pp. xxxii+510. Illustrations, bibliography, and index. $34.95 cb. A large, ambitious, and deeply personal work, this book attempts to define the Jewish- American experience through the prism of baseball. With sections organized around de­ cades, American Jews and America's Game ranges from the 1930s to the present. Original face-to-face interviews, conducted in venues as disparate as Rancho Mirage, Phoenix, Manhattan, Cooperstown, Boston, Baltimore, Kissimmee, and Tel Aviv, provide the core content. Telling photographs, many taken by the author, burnish the commentary. Baseball’s attraction for Jews, the varieties of Jewish baseball experience, anti-Semitism, evolving Jewish identity, relations between the generations, and the future of American Jewry re­ ceive significant attention. Passionate and determined, Larry Ruttman, attorney, adult education teacher, regional writer, and baseball enthusiast, commenced the five-year mis­ sion that culminated in American Jews and America's Game after the age o f seventy. Ruttmans visceral connection to the subject matter colors the presentation. By con­ trast, in The Glory o f Their Times: The Story o f the Early Days o f Baseball Told by the Men Who Played I t (1966), the most acclaimed oral history of the game, editor Lawrence S. Ritter defers to the voices of his interviewees. Save for his preface, elimination of certain material, and some sequential rearrangement, Ritter, largely confining his role to that of catalyst and compiler, displays editorial restraint.

  • San Diego Builders of Israel Free Copy
    SAN DIEGO BUILDERS OF ISRAEL 1948 – 2008 Dear Builders of Israel, families and friends, On behalf of the Board of Directors of the United Jewish Federation of San Diego County we want to congratulate and thank you for all you have done, and continue to do, for the State of Israel. The recognition and kavod you have received by being named a Builder of Israel are well deserved. The United Jewish Federation of San Diego County was established ten years before the founding of the State of Israel. Even then our predecessors knew the importance of our commitment to the future State. Todah rabah, Kenneth D. Polin Michael S. Rassler Board Chair C.E.O. Dear Friends, For many generations it has been a Jewish tradition to use the phrase “until 120” when wishing one another longevity. The age of 60 is considered relatively young for people in current times. That said, how young would a country be considered, when at the same age? Well, it would probably be considered a teenager state. We all have great expectations and high aspirations for this child that took 2000 years to conceive. Just like a teenager, its body has not fully developed yet, and it has yet to finalize its curves and features. However, when it is time to reflect on its achievements to date, we most certainly have a lot to be proud of as parents. As we have been preparing for this year long Israel @ 60 experience, planning for the different events, we came to realize the full magnitude of this miracle.
