Join the Menschwarmers for their upcoming live show, in conversation with legendary broadcaster Michael Landsberg, at the Prosserman JCC in Toronto on Sept. 12, 2023. Reserve your seat here. Outside of executive offices, David Thorpe is one of the biggest Jewish names in the NBA—a player development coach who's helped countless athletes, especially young prospects, reach new heights and meet their goals of competing on the world's biggest basketball stage. Among those athletes have been Omri Casspi and Gal Mekel, two of Israel's biggest basketball stars; after he helped them get drafted into the NBA, word began to spread in the Holy Land, and Coach Thorpe found himself flown into Israel to help cultivate a homegrown scene there. Hear him tell these stories and more, including some FIBA discussions and how his parents instilled Jewish values in him personally, in this deep-dive interview on Menschwarmers. Credits Menschwarmers is hosted by James Hirsh and Gabe Pulver, and produced and edited by Michael Fraiman. Our intro music is by Coby Lipovitch, and our outro music is "Organ Grinder Swing" by chēēZ π. This show is a member of The CJN Podcast Network. Follow the Menschwarmers on Twitter @menschwarmers.

Topic: Overcoming Obstacles   Guest: Tamir Goodman   Bio:   Zone190 inventor Tamir Goodman, dubbed “The Jewish Jordan” by Sports Illustrated in 1999, is a former professional basketball player who has become a successful entrepreneur, coach, educator, and motivational speaker. During high school, Goodman was ranked among the top 25 recruits in the country, and he garnered attention after averaging 35.4 points per game his junior year, all while remaining faithful to his Orthodox Jewish upbringing. He achieved additional notoriety after being named MVP of the prestigious “Capital Classic All-Star Game,” an award won by players like Shaquille O'Neal and Lebron James. Tamir went on to make history as the first Jewish basketball player to play D-I college and professional basketball, while faithfully wearing a yarmulke on the court and without playing on the Jewish Sabbath. In 2002, Goodman fulfilled his dream of moving to Israel, signing a three-year contract with Maccabi Tel Aviv and serving in the Israeli Defense Force, which is a requirement of all Israeli citizens.

Since retiring, Goodman has established his reputation as a sought-after motivational speaker, coach, and educator.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman and Tech Israel editor Ricky Ben David join host Amanda Borschel-Dan. Today is Israel's Remembrance Day, Yom Hazikaron, in which we remember the fallen military and civilians who were killed by terror. Borschel-Dan speaks briefly about two former classmates, Ben Blutstein and Marla Bennett, who were murdered in the July 31, 2002, Hebrew University terror bombing. Israel is somewhat unique in including victims of terror in its official remembrance day. Berman discusses the ongoing debate. Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov ignited a firestorm Sunday when he told an Italian interviewer that “Hitler also had Jewish blood” and that “some of the worst antisemites are Jews.” Other than repeating antisemitic tropes to potentially new audiences, what has been the ripple effect? Ben David discusses what it means for former Israeli NBA player Omri Casspi to step onto high-tech court as VC investor. We end with a ray of light, we hear about Ness Ziona-based SolCold, which has developed a nanotech-based surface material to cool structures such as buildings, cars, containers, airplanes in hot climates. Discussed articles include: Divided Israel set to honor nation's fallen as leaders look to heal wounds Top Zelensky aide: Lavrov shows Russia a threat to Jews, Israel can't stay on fence Former Israeli NBA player Omri Casspi steps onto high-tech court as VC investor Israeli startup harnessing sun's rays for cooling tech touts new Volkswagen deal Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.
