Kosher Food and Tefillin at Superbowl LV

This year was the first time a Super Bowl was played—and won—by the home team on its home turf. And for some Jewish Tampa Bay fans, it was also the first time they felt truly at home, as the Buccaneers coordinated with Chabad of Tampa to help set up a kosher concession stand where hundreds of fans took a break from the game to don tefillin, enjoy a kosher hot dog or potato latke, or just chat with the rabbi.

Hope for Heroes in Rostov

Golda* was a toddler when peasants beat her parents during a pogrom in Rostov, Russia. A few years later she watched as Nazis rounded up and murdered 27,000 of the city’s Jews over the course of two days. After her miraculous survival, she returned to live in the city of her birth.
