formed the Rabbi that he never
played on the High Holy Days and
that this act was not new for him
Feller presented the star pitcher
with a handsome pair of Tefilin
Koufax accepted the Tefilin grac-
iously, commenting on their beau-
ty. He chuckled when Feller told
him he had difficulty in deciding
whether he should give him a
right-handed or left-handed Tefilin.
Jewish law states that hand Tefilin
must be donned on the weaker arm.
The Rabbi told Koufax, "Since
you bat right and throw left, I
couldn't figure out what type to
get you. But considering what your
left arm has accomplished I de-
cided that your right arm was
weaker, and so we got you the type
that you put on your right hand."
After examining his gift for a short
while it appeared to the Rabbi that
Sandy was very familiar with Tefi-
lin.
I asked Rabbi Feller why he
presented Tefilin to Koufax and he
said, "Could you think of a better
way to honor a person for enhanc-
ing Jewish values than by present-
ing him with a Mitzvah article, one
which the Talmud says is repre-
sentative of all the Mitzvos?" That
answer was good enough for me.
After their approximately 10-
minute meeting during which Kou-
far impressed the Rabbi with his
humility and courtesy they parted
with the Rabbi wishing Sandy
"Brocha and Hatzloho" which
means blessing and success. Kou-
fax must have passed this blessing
around.
