In 1934 Hank Greenberg, the first Jew in the Baseball Hall of Fame, sat out a pennant game to observe Yom Kippur. Sandy Koufax did not pitch in the first game of 1965 World Series on Yom Kippur. Our chests swelled with pride when windsurfer Gal Fridman won Israel’s first-ever gold medal in the 2004 summer Olympics. Right here in Florida, we have our own sports heroes who will be the subject for this exhibition - like JoAnn Mason Parker, who is a pockets billiards U.S. Open champion, Skip Bertman, who coached Miami Beach High School baseball team and NFL Miami Dolphin football player Ed Newman. http://www.miamiandbeaches.com/visitors/event_detail.asp?event_id=73817 http://www.miamiandbeaches.com/visitors/event_detail.asp?event_id=73888 (7/3/2008-11/15/2008) Photographer John Andersen showcases the natural beauty and explosive color that make the largest marine park in the National Park System a true national treasure.
