  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION “It’s a book about Australian Jews in sport,” we would keenly tell friends and acquaintances. “Must be a thin volume,” was the quip that inevitably came in reply. At first, we smiled politely and laughed along. We understood the inference. Jews are leaders in law, commerce and medicine. They build things. They are lauded for their philanthropy. They teach, they write and they perform. But sport? What is there to write about? Jews don’t play sport. The joke wore thin. This is exactly why a book of this type is needed. Australia is a country famed for its love of sport, where sports folklore forms such an important part of its modern psyche. But lit- tle has been written about Jews and their relationship to sport. The Jewish population of around 100,000 is numerically small, but not insignificant. Jews have made a profound on-field and off-field contribution to just about every sport in Australia. Their feats have encompassed world championships, AFL premierships, Olympic selection and medals. Their legacies in sports administration and business are many: they have saved sporting codes, reinvigorated national competitions and they have mended the bodies of champion athletes. They have climbed Mount Everest and the major peaks of the world. These are stories that need to be told. But where to start? When we set out to compile this collection, Professor Colin Tatz, an esteemed academic on discrimination and racism, set the record straight. Yes, Australia has represented a largely safe and secure place xi People of the Boot of Jewish domicile.
