The Sports Rabbi welcomes former Hapoel Jerusalem team manager and press officer David Bassan on board the program as we talk all about what it’s like working for a professional basketball franchise in Israel. Bassan had been with Jerusalem for close to a decade and saw the club move from the old Malha Arena to the brand new 11K seat Pais Arena, has worked under former owner Ori Allon as well as current management Eyal Homsky and Guy Harel and was a part of a club that saw the likes of Amare Stoudemire and many other imports walk through the door.

Dov Halickman then joined the show to talk about Israel’s World Cup qualifying win over Estonia, the challenges coming up for the Blue & White as well as Maccabi Tel Aviv’s moves and much more.
