<h2>FAMILY FRIENDLY</h2><h3>Q﻿&amp;A with Israeli team member Zach Penprase, moderated by Louis Rosenberg, JNF-USA Greater Los Angeles Executive Director &amp; Lead Professional of JNF-USA Project Baseball !</h3><h3>Introduction by Richard Hirschhaut, Executive Director of the American Jewish Committee LA</h3><p>In 2021, Israel’s baseball team competed in the Olympics for the first time. With no media allowed in Tokyo’s Olympic Village, the players record their own experiences. Mostly newly minted Israelis, they log unexpected battles against anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism. Victory for Israel comes on the playing field, even if not on the podium. Israel Swings for Gold follows the 2018 hit Heading Home: The Tale of Team Israel, about Israel’s Cinderella run at the 2017 World Baseball Classic.</p><p>A Documentary by Seth Kramer, Daniel A. Miller, and Jeremy Newberger<strong> </strong></p><p><strong>I﻿n partnership with the Consulate General of Israel, Jewish National Fund and Project Baseball,  and the American Jewish Committee Los Angeles</strong></p><p><strong>To learn about Project Baseball, </strong><a href="https://my.jnf.org/israel-baseball/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><strong>click here</strong></a></p>
