Milton and Lois Shiffman examine the Steinsaltz Talmud commentary.

"But this is a situation
where a woman can no
longer stand her living
arrangement. I kill the
husband (in her book)
and I'm pretty happy
about it. But I'm certain-
ly not advocating murder
either."
Peter Levine, author of
From Ellis Island to
Ebbets Field, spoke to
sports enthusiasts at
Book Fair on Sunday.
His book outlines the
transformation of immi-
grants to Americans
through sports and
sports figures— those
famous and not-so
famous. And he explores
the myth of Jews as
weak and poor in sports
capacities.
"I heard a joke on
"Carson" a few years ago.
The guy said he just read
a book about Jews in
sports. It was three
pages." Mr. Levine said.
His work is significant-
ly longer, born out of a
love for the bond he cre-
ated with his own father
through sporting events
— watching the Dodgers
at Ebbets Field and
cheering for the Knicker-
bockers at the old
Madison Square Garden.
Mr. Levine spoke on
baseball, basketball and
boxing and the impor-
tance of the stories of
second-generation Jews
in America.
"Max Baer, Benny
Leonard (boxers sporting
six-pointed stars on their
trunks) — they were
symbols of success and
pride. They were symbols
of the tough Jew," Mr.
Levine said.

Mr. Levine recalled the
story he heard often of
Benny Leonard in the
ring with Irish Eddie.
The fans were taunting
"kill the kike." Leonard
went crazy, with Irish
Eddie begging for mercy
saying, "My real name is
Seymour Rosenbaum."
"Is it true? Does it
matter? Just remember
the climate of anti-
Semitism at the time.
We needed tough Jews to
help us fight back," Mr.
Levine said.
Jews were also known
in basketball in the
1920s and '30s — much
like blacks are today,
Mr. Levine said.
"It's a horrible stereo-
type. People say blacks
are better at basketball
because it's in their
genes. Well, they used to
say Jews were suited to
the game because they
were quick-witted and
scheming," Mr. Levine
said.
And he recalled the
Philadelphia Spas, a
group of Jewish kids
from the south side who -(),
wore uniforms embla-
zoned with Jewish stars
and Hebrew letters.
Of course Hank
Greenberg, who refused
to play on Rosh ,---)-
Hashanah in 1934, was c
mentioned when the con-
versation turned to base-
ball. But so was Andy
Cohen, a lesser known
Jew who played for the
Giants.
Although Jews were
involved in baseball in
relatively small num-
bers, Mr. Levine views
the sport as integral to
