Description
Jacob's third year in Little League has been a success so far, with no missed games. However, his team is counting on him for the upcoming championship game, which falls on the holiday of Yom Kippur. This important day requires observance and reflection. Jacob must make a decision that balances his commitment to his team with his responsibility to observe this significant religious holiday. The story behind Jacob's dilemma was inspired by a remarkable athlete who made a similar choice in 1965. A hero to many, this individual's actions on Yom Kippur have left a lasting impact on the community. This book tells the true story of a young boy facing an important decision and explores the values of faith, family, and friendship.
