The Jew of the Week is a Jewish hockey player playing in Germany, Evan Kaufmann. He is the first Jewish player to play on the German national hockey team since the 1930s. Kaufmann, originally from America, had many of his Jewish family members killed in the Holocaust, but he does not hold it against the country’s current citizens and proudly commits himself to modern Germany’s team.

GOOD GOY OF THE WEEK:
The Good Goy of the Week is Jeremy Lin, who has become a sensation in the NBA over the past few weeks. Although Jeremy unfortunately went to Harvard, he is the first American of Chinese or Taiwanese descent to play in the NBA!
