(Courtesy of Halftime for Torah) A year has come and gone and the Super Bowl is back for its 56th edition. As you gather with family or friends, you will find the Cincinnati Bengals facing off against the Los Angeles Rams in their own brand-new SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, although the Bengals will serve as the home team. A Rams win would make them the second team in Super Bowl history to win in their home stadium, only following the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020. The game will mark the first time in just about three decades that the battle for the Lombardi Trophy will return to the California region.
Both once No. 1 overall drafts picks, quarterback Joe Burrow, 25, is geared up to contend against quarterback Matthew Stafford, 33, of the Rams in his first Super Bowl appearance. A win for the Rams would make head coach Sean McVay, 36, the youngest to hoist the Lombardi Trophy, however, together with Rams coach Zac Taylor, 38, this game will mark the youngest matchup of Super Bowl head coaches.
When halftime rolls around, the Jewish world is encouraged to join an all-star roster of premier Torah sensations! Tune in live to hear the awe-inspiring words of Rav Gav Friedman, Rabbi Yoel Gold, and Charlie Harary. This year, the program will feature the fascinating mohel, author and lecturer Rabbi Paysach J. Krohn in a unique presentation. CHAZAQ’s halftime show is designed to be just as entertaining as it will be stimulating for children and adults alike.
“Halftime for Torah,” the brainchild of Rabbi Eytan Feiner of the White Shul in Far Rockaway, was devised to give those partaking in the spirit of the game a riveting dose of Torah as a kosher alternative to the typical distractions.
This year, CHAZAQ’s “Halftime for Torah” will once again feature a captivating story delivered by Rabbi Gold, the engrossing inspiration of world-renowned orator Harary, and the warmth and charm of the great Rabbi Krohn. The schedule also embraces the heartwarming enthusiasm of Rav Gav and his bond with the Eretz HaKedusha.
The project is spearheaded by the CHAZAQ Organization headquartered in Queens. Robbie Aboff, CHAZAQ’s events coordinator noted: “We are grateful to the plethora of organizations and highly regarded media sponsors from across America that have signed up to partner in streaming and spreading ‘Halftime for Torah.’ We grasp the exhilaration of the game, and we acknowledge all who have chosen to help ignite the fire of Torah in their homes.”
