Co-sponsored by the Cohn-Haddow Center for Judaic Studies. $5 for a single class/$20-$25 for the series. Henry & Delia Meyers Library and Media Center, at the West Bloomfield JCC.

Jewish Sports Review magazine aided this item: Nate Ebner, 26, free safety, New England. Now in his fourth season, Ebner has established himself as an outstanding special teams player. Taylor Mays, 27, free safety, Oakland. In a happy way, Mays could quote the famous Godfather III line: "I thought I was out, but they brought me back in!" A col- lege star at USC, Mays had a so-so career in four seasons with Cincinnati. Released at the end of last season, he was signed and then quickly released by Minnesota, Detroit and Oakland (Aug. 25). However, on Sept. 15, he was re-signed by Oakland following injuries to Raider safeties and played in two games to date. Mays, by the way, is the son of an African-American, non-Jew- ish father (Stafford Mays, an 8-year NFL player, now a Microsoft executive) and a white Jewish mother who is a Nordstrom executive. He was raised Jewish and had a bar mitzvah. Alexander "Ali" Marpet, 22, guard, Tampa Bay. He's the only Jewish rookie this year. Marpet has defied the odds: He made the NFL after a small-school career (Hobart College in upstate New York) and he started the Bucs' first three games. Marpet went on a Birthright trip to Israel (his father worked in Israel during the mid-1970s as a TV camera- man). Geoff Schwartz, 29, guard, N.Y. Giants. Now in his seventh season, Schwartz was injured most of last season. Healthy now, he started the first three Giants' games. Mitchell Schwartz, 26, tackle, Cleveland. Schwartz, a very good, steady player, and the brother of Geoff, has started in all the Browns games since being signed in 2012 (51 straight games Ebner Lynne Konstantin Arts & Life Editor Editor's Picks Naftali Herz Imber Caught In the Act: A Hollywood Murder- Mystery Party Feature your business with HipCityDeals to acquire quality and eager new customers via our highly-targeted marketing.
