About Kesher Talk

  • "Kesher" means "connection" in Hebrew. The banner image is the mosaic floor of a 6th c. synagogue in Jericho, showing a menorah flanked by a shofar and lulav; the inscription reads "Shalom Al Yisrael." (This synagogue was destroyed by Arab vandals a few years ago. The condition of the mosaic floor is unknown.)

What Does the Torah Say About the Super Bowl? Plenty.

Rabbi Joshua Hammerman of Temple Beth El in Stamford, Conn. has produced a detailed Torah analysis of the Super Bowl and its contestants. Based on the names of the teams -- Seahawks and Steelers -- he deduced the winner and even the point spread.

It’s not easy for me to make a prediction in this, a rare non-Patriot year. But since I’ve almost always been right (my personal favorite being Pats-Rams in 2002), I must meet the challenge. So who will it be: Steelers or Seahawks? The fact that I am typing this on a Microsoft program (and the Seattle owner has those ties) shouldn’t influence me, since my computer also has a steel frame.

Scroll down to the "Annual Super Bowl Prediction" headline, midway through Rabbi Hammerman's Shabbat-o-gram.
