WhatsappTamir Goodman is unbelievable at the game of Basketball. But that’s not even what makes this Jewish athlete so amazing. Check this out.
The Jewish Athlete Who Makes a Difference
There are so many unique and inspiring things about Tamir Goodman. If you look back to the beginning of his stardom, this Jewish athlete put his Judaism first. Despite being exceptional at Basketball, he never played on Shabbat. He could have been convinced otherwise and given in because he was so good at the game, but he chose to put G-d before everything else.
Often times, people think they need to hide their Judaism. They want to put it aside. People fear they might get mocked or fired from a job. But Tamir Goodman showed the world what it means to value his religion. This Jewish athlete taught the world and Jews an extremely important lesson. Although most of us are probably not in the spotlight the way Goodman was and is, we can still show others what Judaism means to us and put G-d first.
And although his career as a professional basketball player was cut short, he didn’t sit around and mope about it. He got up and chose to use his talents to do other remarkable things.
Yes, we can all try to learn from Goodman’s skills as a basketball player. But being a Jewish athlete means so much more to Tamir. What’s important in life is not the skills you have, but it’s how you use those skills that matter. Tamir’s talents are being used for the good, and it’s truly inspiring.
