September 18, 2024 marks 90 years since Detroit Tigers player Hank Greenberg took a stand as a Jew and did not play baseball on Yom Kippur, but rather attended services at Congregation Shaarey Zedek.
Former Detroiter Aviva Kempner – writer, producer, and director of the documentary film The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg and its re-release 25 years later - will be our special guest for this exciting program that will focus on the life and legacy of slugger Hank Greenberg. We will hear from baseball experts and people who personally knew our heroic Jewish Hall of Famer.
Cost: $10 (refreshments included)
