Celebrating My Heritage --- Jews on Cards --- Star Trek

At least four actors from the Star Trek franchise have Jewish roots -- not quite a minyan but a good start.

Leonard Nimoy

William Shatner

Walter Koenig

Brent Spiner

 

Celebrating My Heritage --- Jews on Cards --- Sandy Koufax

 For years I've had a goal of putting together a collection of cards of famous Jewish people, mostly athletes of course.  While still quite modest in size I do finally have my binder full of Jews.  

Who better to start this series with than "The Left Arm of God", Sandy Koufax.  

Sons of Israel

A few years ago I featured a set of cards called Sons of Italy consisting of Italian-American ballplayers.  Recently I picked up a set along similar lines, though much smaller, featuring ballplayers of Jewish descent.  Being Jewish myself I thought it would be fun to make "The Chosen" one focus of my collecting this year.  These are a great start.
