520 For some, the connection between Jews and athletics might
seem far-fetched. But in fact, as is highlighted by the
fourteen chapters in this collection, Jews have been
participating in?and thinking about?sports for more than
two thousand years. The articles in this volume scan a
wide chronological range: from the Hellenistic period
(first century BCE) to the most recent basketball season.
The range of athletes covered is equally broad: from
participants in Roman-style games to wrestlers, boxers,
fencers, baseball players, and basketball stars. The
authors of these essays, many of whom actively participate
in athletics themselves, raise a number of intriguing
questions, such as: What differing attitudes toward sports
have Jews exhibited across periods and cultures? Is it
possible to be a?good Jew? and a?great athlete?? In what
sports have Jews excelled, and why? How have Jews overcome
prejudices on the part of the general populace against a
Jewish presence on the field or in the ring? In what ways
has Jewish participation in sports aided, or failed to aid,
the perception of Jews as?good Germans,??good Hungarians,
??good Americans,? and so forth? This volume, which
features a number of illustrations (many of them quite
rare), is not only accessible to the general reader, but
also contains much information of interest to the scholar
in Jewish studies, American studies, and sports history.
