Keeping Jewish Hoops Alive

This man is running one of the most competitive Jewish basketball leagues in the world. What have you done here in the Five Towns for >> [music] >> Jewish sports in the Jewish world, it's like you got to grow up and go and pursue some sort of professional, whatever it is. There's a lot of talent that kind of gets [music] lost after high school. One of the things that we're trying to do with One Nation Elite is create opportunities [music] for those high-level guys to continue playing beyond high school, beyond college, into their adult life. It's like rec leagues, [music] you know, but nothing that really honors their commitment to their faith and their community at a high level. We have uh professional media. We have some cool [music] AI tech we use for like stat keeping and clipping highlights. So, I think it hopefully will create [music] some sort of aspirational feeling amongst the younger kids and high school kids to kind of realize that like they don't need to give it up and they can keep developing their talent and there's a place for it in the community. [music] That's why we made the vault. >> All right, so tell me about the vault. Tell me about like for someone that doesn't know what it is, what is your platform? >> We invite just the top talent, guys you might remember from Yeshiva League or at YU. [music] And we have a lot of the best ballers come and we do We have some high-level hoops. You know, we have guys who grew up in Yeshiva world, some guys went to more modern schools. [music] It doesn't even matter anymore. You know how it is once you like graduate high school or something. >> We all just like we're all just one family [music] and there's a real brotherhood. >> You're a busy guy, you have a kid, you have a wife. What is driving you [music] to do something like this? >> Yes. Sports was always a place where I was comfortable growing [music] up, a place where I felt most myself, most connected. So, in a sense, I want to create something that I wish I had growing up and I think [music] the time is now more than ever to make it happen and I love it.
