Welcome, The King Of Israel

Sacramento rookie Omri Casspi, the first Israeli to play in the NBA, is a dedicated collector of floor burns as well as a modern extension of the league's Jewish roots

Rabbi Reuven Taff took 21 members of his congregation to Israel this summer and made sure they saw all the historic landmarks most sacred to Jews from Sacramento: the Western Wall, the Golan Heights, Old Jaffa, Masada, the Dead Sea, the Holocaust Memorial at Yad Vashem and, of course, the childhood home of Kings rookie Omri Casspi.

It's a great article. It's been mentioned in a couple of other threads, but I don't think they included the link.

I loved that article. You don't need to be a member of the congregation Mosiac Law, or Jewish to bring an Israeli flag to Arco in support of Omri. Plus those big flags are very euro style, and I think eventually arco will pass out plastic small Israeli flags so everyone can wave one. Imagine that, every fan waving a flag, that would be a spectacle.

Being a member of Congregation Mosaic Law and occasionally a resident of Israel and Jewish, I do encourage any so-motivated Omri fans to bring 'em and wave 'em.

Loved that article.
