The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg

Congregation Ahavath Achim, the Carnegie Shul, will be showing the film, “The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg,” at the Hollywood Theater in Dormont at 7 p.m. The program is being funded by a grant from South Hills Jewish Pittsburgh, a part of the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh. The Peabody Award-winning film is a sometimes humorous and often nostalgic documentary about how the former Detroit Tigers (and later Pittsburgh Pirates) slugger became a beacon of hope to American Jews who faced bigotry during the Depression and World War II, and how he became a genuine American hero. The program is free and open to the community, and attendees will receive free popcorn and soda. RSVP at southhillsjewishpittsburgh.org.
