The Yeshiva University men's basketball team has ended an unforgettable era.
Yeshiva University's Ryan Turell dribbles the ball down court while being defended by Johns Hopkins University's Carson James and Lincoln Yeutter in the first round of the NCAA's Division III basketball tournament, in Galloway Township, N.J., on Friday, March 4, 2022. The Yeshiva Maccabees lost to the Blue Jays, 63-59 at Stockton University Sports Center.
The players came from across the United States and vary in observance of their faith — from Max Leibowitz, who leads them in prayer and gives them lessons inspired by the Torah before they go on the court, to Ofek Reef, a 6-foot junior from Texas who goes on the court without the skullcap, wearing tattoos and a Star of David-shaped earring, and captivates the crowds when he dunks over taller rivals.
“It’s a dream come true,” Turell said. “The fact that people have pride to wear a kippah or be Jewish is what we set out to do, and we accomplished it.”
