About this ebook
Why They Played, Chapter 11?
The stories and observations that follow describe what happens when Yeshiva players attempt to find time for everything: Torah study, secular knowledge, and athletic triumph.
When Dr. Halpert scours the globe for good player-athletes who will lead the team to victory, he looks for athletic promise, but in searching for the best, he is cognizant that, in the final analysis, his team will be the YU team. He knows that the players must be the bestbut also informed by values, Jewish values, universal values, and values touched by the breath of Torah.
Rabbi Simcha Krauss
Rabbi Emeritus
Young Israel of Hillcrest
The passion is there because the game of basketball is that kind of game. Coach Halpert exemplifies that spirit because he can get excitedand if you dont get excited, then the players wont get excited. He is able to translate that feeling and inner love to the players.
