Frishberg Chairman, Philadelphia Jewish Sports Hall of Fame I warmly welcome you to the 22nd Annual Induction Ceremony of the Philadelphia Jewish Sports Hall of Fame. Our Museum portrays the instrumental role sports has played in Jewish life; provides continuity to future generations of Jewish athletes and reflects the obstacles Jews had to overcome in order to excel in local, national and international sporting endeavors. It is an honor to serve as Chairman, yet alone be the recipient of this year’s Pillar of Achievement Award. It is humbling to be associated with our past and present Inductees and Pillar of Achievement Honorees and especially to share the “stage” with this year’s unique and eclectic class which includes a pro football executive, Howie Roseman; a former NHLer, Colby Cohen; a major league pitcher, Mike Koplove; a sports singer-song writer, Chuck Brodsky; a college soccer star, Myra Sack; and an Olympic Team fencer, Chris O’Loughlin. They are joining a special group of approximately 175 past Inductees. We are also honored to recognize the Pine Forest Camp-Jewish Basketball League Team 1990-2006 with the Simcha Gersh Award as well as the 2018 Maccabi Games Team Philadelphia Graduating Athletes, our future leaders. The inductees into the Philadelphia Jewish Sports Hall of Fame represent the best of the best, those individuals who, through perseverance, dedication, superior talent and skills, have risen to the top of their respective sports. Their names and achievements are celebrated within the walls of the museum. Each PJSHOF Inductee has been involved in sports as an athlete, coach, manager, administrator, team owner, agent, referee or as a member of the media. They must have at least one Jewish parent and have lived within, or competed within, the Greater Philadelphia area. I am excited to announce the opening of the Hall of Fame as of July 1, 2019 at our new location within the Jewish Community Services Building, 2100 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA where we transformed the Hall of Fame into the 21st century with digital and interactive monitors, as well as displaying our memorabilia on a rotating basis to provide greater exposure of our collection. A special thank you to Stephanie Reyer, our design coordinator, for all her assistance in establishing our new look. Thanks to Louis Schmidt, Publication Chairman; Jay Goldberg & Ed Weiss, Nominating Committee Chairmen; Rose Weinstein, Maccabi Liaison; Jake Rosenberg, Marketing Chairman; Debbie Weiss, Executive Director; Alison Polsky, Technical Director; and Michael Tabas whose videos provide everlasting memories for our Inductees. I thank our past Inductees and Board Members who have generously stepped up and contributed at the $1,000 or greater level as well as my present Board for their input and support. My thanks to all of you who purchased ads and are in attendance this evening for your support of the Philadelphia Jewish Sports Hall of Fame. It is through your support that we are able to sustain our purpose and continue to honor those who will come after us. 5 Achievement Award Pillar of Stephen H. Frishberg 2019 Pillar of Achievement Recipient “Stephen has the ability to balance life and work and turn ambition into accomplishments” To put it simply, Stephen Frishberg is a man who makes things happen…a show of force who seldom takes no for an answer. From his position as partner in the Law Firm of Schachtel Gerstley Frishberg & Koplin to his many leadership roles, he’s been a tireless leader, both professionally and charitably. Yet it’s his current 12-year reign as Chairman of the Philadelphia Jewish Sports Hall of Fame that may well be his crowning achievement. Twenty-one years since its founding, the Philadelphia Jewish Sports Hall of Fame was at a crossroads having been forced to vacate its home at the Gershman Y. But Frishberg, having a clear vision for its future, remained undeterred as he found an exciting new home in the Jewish Community Services Building to lead the organization into a new era. In addition to his professional accomplishments Frishberg has served as Chairman of the Board of Golden Slipper Club & Charities, past President of the Golden Slipper Senior Center and past President and Vice President of the Cancer Support Community. He also has served on the boards of the Wellness Community, the Jewish Community Centers of Greater Philadelphia, the Locust Club and is a member of the Union League. He and his family have been actively engaged since 1984 in raising funds for the American Cancer Society, having created the “Fab Five Racing Team” - which initially consisted of himself, his wife, Barbara, and their three children, Michael, Rachel & Laura. In addition to their running each year in a five mile race, they participated in the 1986 ACS 24 hour challenge, maintaining a walker on St. Joseph’s track for 24 hours, successfully resulting in The Fab Five being the leading fundraiser for that event. Thanks to his generosity and commitment, coupled with a dogged determination and his singular ability to “think outside the box”, he has the confidence to believe he can accomplish anything he sets out to do. The Philadelphia Jewish Sports Hall of Fame is proud to present Stephen H. Frishberg the Pillar of Achievement Award. 6 Chuck Brodsky is a storyteller, a songwriter, a troubadour and a modern day baseball bard. Over the past 25 years, he has performed at festivals and concerts all over the world including the Baseball Hall of Fame where 22 of his songs have been enshrined. Born & raised in suburban Philadelphia, he attended The Haverford School and now lives in the mountains of North Carolina... but his blood still runs Phillies red. His song Whitey & Harry was featured in the documentary film Richie Ashburn: A Baseball Life, and the Sony Pictures feature film release Radio included an appearance by him as well as his original music as the closing title track song. Another of his compositions Moe Berg: The Song was featured in the PBS show: Jews and Baseball: An American Love Story. Brodsky, who has garnered worldwide acclaim for his folk singing Sports Song Writer Chuck Brodsky and song writing, began his career by dropping out of college to sing for tips on the streets of Europe. Then he performed in coffeehouses in the San Francisco Bay area. Among his twelve CD’s are two entire albums of baseball songs: The Baseball Ballads and Baseball Ballads 2. The Ballad of Eddie Klepp, about the first white man to play in the Negro Leagues has been heard on NPR’s Morning Edition and was the inspiration for a feature story about Klepp that appeared in The Washington Post. The Philadelphia Daily News ran a story about Brodsky and his original composition about Richie Allen, Letters in the Dirt. Another favorite topic Brodsky likes to explore is his Jewish heritage. His musically inclined great-great grandfather inspired Old Song Handed Down in which his grandson, Brodsky, asks him about life as a musician in a Russian peasant village in the late 1800’s. The song Lilly’s Braids was written after a visit to Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. Another of his compositions, Gerta, is a song about a doll donated by a Holocaust survivor who instructed it to “tell the world what we saw”. Brodsky has recorded six songs about the Holocaust and plans to release an entire album of songs with Holocaust themes. Brodsky’s parents, Bunny and Frank, still reside in Lower Merion. Philadelphia Jewish Sports Hall of Fame 2019 Induction Class 7 Colby Cohen was a noted professional hockey player as a defenseman in the National Hockey League with the Colorado Avalanche and the 2011 Stanley Cup Champion Boston Bruins. He currently serves as a color analyst for networks such as NBC Sports, Westwood One and ESPN. Cohen was born and raised in Villanova and attended Radnor High School where he helped lead the Raiders to a Championship in the Inter-County Scholastic Hockey League.

  • Ayn Rand? Ayn Rand Ayn
    Who Is Ayn Rand? Ayn Rand Few 20th century intellectuals have been as influential—and controversial— as the novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand. Her thinking still has a profound impact, particularly on those who come to it through her novels, Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead—with their core messages of individualism, self-worth, and the right to live without the impositions of others. Although ignored or scorned by some academics, traditionalists, pro- gressives, and public intellectuals, her thought remains a major influence on Ayn Rand many of the world’s leading legislators, policy advisers, economists, entre- preneurs, and investors. INTRODUCTION AN Why does Rand’s work remain so influential? Ayn Rand: An Introduction illuminates Rand’s importance, detailing her understanding of reality and human nature, and explores the ongoing fascination with and debates about her conclusions on knowledge, morality, politics, economics, government, AN INTRODUCTION public issues, aesthetics and literature. The book also places these in the context of her life and times, showing how revolutionary they were, and how they have influenced and continue to impact public policy debates.

  • Clips for 7-12-10
    MEDIA CLIPS – Jan. 23, 2019 Walker short in next-to-last year on HOF ballot Former slugger receives 54.6 percent of vote; Helton gets 16.5 percent in first year of eligibility Thomas Harding | MLB.com | Jan. 22, 2019 DENVER -- Former Rockies star Larry Walker introduced himself under a different title during his conference call with Denver media on Tuesday: "Fifty-four-point-six here." That's the percentage of voters who checked Walker in his ninth year of 10 on the Baseball Writers' Association of America Hall of Fame ballot. It's a dramatic jump from his previous high, 34.1 percent last year -- an increase of 88 votes. However, he's going to need an 87-vote leap to reach the requisite 75 percent next year, his final season of eligibility. Jayson Stark of the Athletic noted during MLB Network's telecast that the only player to receive a jump of at least 80 votes in successive years was former Reds shortstop Barry Larkin, who was inducted in 2012. But when publicly revealed ballots had him approaching the mid-60s in percentage, Walker admitted feeling excitement he hadn't experienced in past years. "I haven't tuned in most years because there's been no chance of it really happening," Walker said. "It was nice to see this year, to watch and to have some excitement involved with it. "I was on Twitter and saw the percentages that were getting put out there for me. It made it more interesting. I'm thankful to be able to go as high as I was there before the final announcement." When discussing the vote, one must consider who else is on the ballot.
