REL-YESHIVA-BASKETBALL FAITH

NEW YORK — Yeshiva University’s basketball team can’t play over the Sabbath on Jewish holidays or fast days. They’ve also faced anti-Semitic slurs on and off the court from opponents and spectators. But they continue to beat their rivals wearing the skullcap that identifies them as Jewish. The school won its first ever conference title in 2018 and reached the final in 2019. The current squad is the best team in the Jewish Orthodox college’s history, now on a 25-game winning streak, and on track to win the conference again and qualify for the NCAA Division III tournament.
