About this ebook

The nine members of the 19751976 Yeshiva University varsity basketball team attended their Jewish studies classes from nine to one, their secular classes from two to seven, practiced until ten, and went on to become doctors, dentists, or lawyers. The 1975 teams daily schedule and accomplishments were not unique, but rather representative of the approximately six hundred players who for eighty-three years have worn the Yeshiva University blue and white uniform. . .

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.
