You are invited to a free screening of this inspiring film, celebrating the life of Hank Greenberg, grandfather of Temple Beth Shalom congregant Jennifer Bloom Greenberg. As America’s first Jewish baseball star, Hank Greenberg helped break down the barriers of discrimination in American sports and society. Greenberg was a beacon of hope to millions of American Jews who faced bigotry during the Depression and World War II. The Ciesla Foundation is re-releasing "The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg" with a new 4k remaster in honor of the film's 25th anniversary and the 90th anniversary of Greenberg's decision to sit out a key pennant race game to attend synagogue on Yom Kippur.
