“From the earliest age, American children are exposed to sports. Its influence on the American psyche is beyond a question of a doubt. Knowing this all too well, Rabbi James Gordon . . . has published his newest book, PRAY BALL 2!! Spiritual Insights Into Sportsmanship, using sports as a metaphor for life’s lessons. In this work he teaches, without preaching, how important sportsmanship is in our daily relationships. I have no doubt that this book will influence scores of young adults for years to come.”
