The Detroit Tigers once again hosted Jewish Heritage Day at Comerica Park. On 
Sunday, May 19, hundreds of members of Detroit’
s Jewish community cheered 
on the Tigers and were treated to kippot featuring an Olde English D and a newly 
designed Tiger hat with the Hebrew letter Daled and an Israeli flag on each side. 
Prior to the first pitch, leaders of this summer’
s Maccabi Games were honored 
on the field and the Temple Israel choir sang the “Star-Spangled Banner.
” As in 
years past, Hy Safran blasted the shofar from home plate and “Play Ball” was said 
in Hebrew.
The Tigers donated a portion of every ticket package to the Jewish Federation of 
Metropolitan Detroit’
s 2019 Annual Campaign. The Tigers celebrated the Jewish 
community’
s contributions to Detroit, ranging from Hank Greenberg’
s service 
on and off the field to Federation’
s current efforts to combat anti-Semitism and 
support youth suffering from mental illness. ■
