Podcast appearances and mentions of jeffrey gurock

Jeffrey Gurock is the author of a great new comprehensive biography of the premier voice of New York sports from the 1940s through the 1990s. The book is Marty Glickman, The Life of an American Jewish Sports Legend. I loved the book and our podcast discussion. It's a sweet, sweet, bittersweet biography.  Romania, the Bronx and Brooklyn, the example set by Hank Greenberg and by Sandy Koufax, track and football in high school and college, quotas limiting the number of Jews in certain colleges, the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, the Jews who were precipitously excluded from the competition, American Nazis (truly, American Nazis), the great Jessie Owens, and a phenomenal sportscasting career for a gracious and generous gentleman. Really terrific.

The Sports Rabbi welcomed Jeffrey Gurock onto the show to discuss his brand new book MARTY GLICKMAN: The Life of an American Jewish Sports Legendas we discuss the legendary career of one of the greatest Jewish sportsman. Glickman, who was well known as a sports announcer in the New York area was also a world class athletes who was denied the opportunity to run at the 1936 Berlin Olympics because he was a Jew in a blatant anti-Semitic act by his own United States delegation. Join me for a wonderful conversation about Glickman, his life, legacy and challenges along the way that is so pertinent for the current times.To purchase MARTY GLICKMAN: The Life of an American Jewish Sports Legend clikc on the this link or on the picture of the book below.

For close to half a century after World War II, Marty Glickman was the voice of New York sports. His distinctive style of broadcasting, on television and especially on the radio, garnered for him legions of fans who would not miss his play-by-play accounts. From the 1940s through the 1990s, he was as iconic a sports figure in town as the Yankees' Mickey Mantle, the Knicks' Walt Frazier, or the Jets' Joe Namath. In addition to the stories of how he became a master of American sports airwaves, Marty Glickman has also been remembered as a Jewish athlete who, a decade before he sat in front of a microphone, was cynically barred from running in a signature track event in the 1936 Olympics by anti-Semitic American Olympic officials. Glickman's story underscores the complexities that faced his generation of American Jews as these children of immigrants emerged from their ethnic cocoons and strove to succeed in America amid challenges to their professional and social advancement. To explore Glickman's story is today's guest, Jeffrey Gurock, author of Marty Glickman: The Life of an American Jewish Sports Legend.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3101278/advertisement

Nachum Segal interviews Dr. Jeffrey Gurock about his latest book and he presents great Jewish music, the latest news from Israel and Morning Chizuk with Rabbi Dovid Goldwasser.

It's an episode that's hopefully as "Good! Like Nedicks!" - as we take a biographical look back at the rich and influential life of pioneering New York City sports broadcaster Marty Glickman - with biographer/Yeshiva University history professor Jeffrey Gurock ("Marty Glickman: The Life of an American Jewish Sports Legend"). From the "Marty Glickman" dustjacket: "For close to half a century after World War II, Marty Glickman was the voice of New York sports. His distinctive style of broadcasting, on television and especially on the radio, garnered for him legions of fans who would not miss his play-by-play accounts. From the 1940s through the 1990s, he was as iconic a sports figure in town as the Yankees' Mickey Mantle, the Knicks' Walt Frazier, or the Jets' Joe Namath. His vocabulary and method of broadcasting left an indelible mark on the industry, and many of today's most famous sportscasters were Glickman disciples. To this very day, many fans who grew up listening to his coverage of Knicks basketball and Giants football games, among the myriad of events that Glickman covered, recall fondly, and can still recite, his descriptions of actions in arenas and stadiums. "In addition to the stories of how he became a master of American sports airwaves, Marty Glickman has also been remembered as a Jewish athlete who, a decade before he sat in front of a microphone, was cynically barred from running in a signature track event in the 1936 Olympics by anti-Semitic American Olympic officials. This lively biography details this traumatic event and explores not only how he coped for decades with that painful rejection but also examines how he dealt with other anti-Semitic and cultural obstacles that threatened to stymie his career. Glickman's story underscores the complexities that faced his generation of American Jews as these children of immigrants emerged from their ethnic cocoons and strove to succeed in America amid challenges to their professional and social advancement."   + + +   SPONSOR THANKS: 417 Helmets (promo code: GOODSEATS): https://417helmets.com/?wpam_id=3 DraftKings Sportsbook (promo code: GOODSEATS): https://myaccount.draftkings.com/login    BUY/READ EARLY & OFTEN:  Marty Glickman: The Life of an American Jewish Sports Legend (2023): https://amzn.to/3FyuVOe   FIND & FOLLOW: Website: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill Instagram (+ Threads): https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable

One of the oldest gated communities in CT started as the result of Jewish firefighters in Queens, NY wanting to get their children out of the city during a polio outbreak. The firefighters transformed a virgin, 600-acre site by hand into a gorgeous and serene community, featuring what is still one of the most pristine lakes in western CT. Over the years, summer bungalows have been replaced by year-round housing in the Lake Waubeeka community. And, one of the country's most famous musical legends spent her summers growing up there. The story is told by a professor of Jewish history, a long-time resident, and the author of a book on Lake Waubeeka, Jeffrey Gurock.

Wallach addresses the question on the minds of millions of Modern Orthodox Jews: Is the Cleveland Cavaliers' Coach Blatt really that big of a deal? The Libby M. Klapperman Professor of Jewish History at Yeshiva University Dr. Jeffrey Gurock joins the program to discuss Coach Blatt, FIFA and how the Jewish world has reacted to both.
