Most students at the University of Pennsylvania weren’t even born the last time the Philadelphia Phillies won the World Series. That was back in 1980, when they played against the Kansas City Royals. So collegians here felt they had something to celebrate following the Phillies’ victory against the Tampa Bay Rays to win Major League Baseball’s top title.
Jewish Community Joins Celebrations After World Series Win
Most students at the University of Pennsylvania weren’t even born the last time the Philadelphia Phillies won the World Series. That was back in 1980, when they played against the Kansas City Royals. So collegians here felt they had something to celebrate following the Phillies’ victory against the Tampa Bay Rays to win Major League Baseball’s top title.
Adding its own touch to the festivities, the Chabad-Lubavitch House at the University of Pennsylvania planned to throw a baseball-themed Shabbat kiddush Friday night. With a menu of ballpark favorites like hot dogs and caramel corn, the Jewish student center aimed to provide a spiritual backdrop to all the partying.
“The Lubavitch House is going red,” reported Rabbi Levi Haskelevitch. “We’re doing a little redecorating, getting a cake and maybe even making the matzo balls red.”
Moments after Wednesday night’s victory, Philadelphia’s streets were abuzz with excited crowds. On Thursday, fans couldn’t stop talking about baseball.
