Summary

Yeshiva University, in New York City, has the NCAA’s only all-Jewish basketball team which has been celebrated in the past few years for having record- breaking seasons including a 50-game win streak that ended in 2020. When the Hamas terror attacks of October 7th happened, with six students from Israel playing, the team struggled with the decision to continue their season or cancel it, while some players wanted to return to Israel and fight alongside the IDF. The story of the team's struggle is told in full in a new documentary, “Rebound: A Year of Triumph and Tragedy at Yeshiva University Basketball,” which is now on 'Fox Nation'. FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Rabbi Dr. Ari Berman, President of Yeshiva University in New York City, who says the school's basketball team is a true inspiration to other students at a time when the Jewish community could use a sense of normalcy.
