Rabbi Getzy Fellig of Avenue J @ Chabad of the Grove was given a tour of Marlins Park, home park of the professional baseball team Miami Marlins based in Miami, Florida.
Meeting Jeffrey Greenberg, Inside Sales at the Miami Marlins, they discussed plans for the Great Parade on Lag BaOmer – Sunday, May 18 and the annual Jewish Heritage Day on Sunday, June 1, 2014.
While on the home plate, Fellig asked Greenberg if he had put on Tefillin recently, to which he responded he had not.
“I asked if he wanted to bring down some holy energy into his team for that night’s game, and he readily agreed,” Fellig tells COLlive.com. “What better spot than in the dugout. Marlins won that night 9-3.”
Who is Jeffrey Greenberg?
My son’s been saying he wants to put on tefillin with a baseball player where we live! I would really appreciate knowing how he got to meet him initially. My son’s idea. Tx so much!!
