Menschwarmers: How do you say “Championship Ring” in Hebrew?

On our Jewish sports podcast: the NBA's talmudic metaphors and a fact-check on the claim that Jewish athletes play poorly on Yom Kippur.

When Gabe and Jamie realized their regular recording schedule coincided with the Toronto Raptors’ ring ceremony, they figured: why not record it? This week, the Menschwarmers recap the Raps’ Jewish connections, spitball the talmudic metaphors behind the NBA and fact-check a fib that claims Jewish athletes play poorly on Yom Kippur.
