In Honor of Gimmel February

"From Super Bowl to Super Jew":
"My former teams are the best in the NFL and although we all can learn about being a team player in life from football, if you really want to see what teamwork is all about, go take a look at Rabbi Kaplan and his “players” in downtown Fort Lauderdale
and all of the other Shluchim world-wide who follow
the ultimate “coach” of G-d’s team – the Lubavitcher Rebbe..."
- Alan (Shlomo) Veingrad, former Offensive Lineman with the Green Bay Packers & Dallas Cowboys, and a Member of Super Bowl XXVII Champion Cowboys team in 1993.


This Jew started 16 games as a rookie with the Green Bay Packers, and played for five years, and was the personal shomer of renown Areilim Troy Aikman & Emitt Smith.

(The latter gentile bought Reb Alan a Rolex watch after winning the rushing title;

dear rebbe;
thanks a lot for the kind shout out.
but the real gadlus of this post is noting how Reb Shlomo was "the personal shomer of renown Areilim Troy Aikman & Emmitt Smith." (although according to Captain Dovi Fischer there is a rumor that Emmitt Smith was nolad mahul).
additionally, shmad thought the "hataras ha'sfeikos" post was "the funniest thing i have ever seen in my life."
all in all, we all hope to see soon...and @ Justin the Jews wedding/Purim Kattan seudah & shiur in YU.
