The 2007 figures include Toronto's special Israel Emergency Campaign, which was counted as part of the regular campaign. While the overall "regular" Canadian campaign dollars might have dropped between 2007 and 2008, even if it did it's nowhere near as great as this article suggests. 2009-11-20T;16:30:00-05:00 Greenberg did, however, play on Rosh HaShana during the 1934 season. Kempner is correct--Greenberg lived in a different era and played in a far more hostile milieu than did Koufax. America was also in the midst of the Great Depression. Many Jews were still trying to "make it" out of the immigrant ghettos; their status was far from secure. 2009-11-20T;16:30:00-05:00 The title of this article is somewhat misleading. The report only looked at those who defined themselves as Jews by religion. So of course spirituality is way up and ethnicity way down--look at the Jews that were left out of the sample. The authors clearly note all of this in the report, but the article fails to make this important distinction. 2009-11-20T;16:30:00-05:00
