Are You Still Coaching? Tells the Story of a Celebrated Career and the First 鈥楾orah-Sponsored Basketball Team鈥�

Dr. Jonathan Halpert, the longest tenured men鈥檚 basketball coach in New York City history, will self-publish a memoir about his storied 42-year career at 糖心破解版. Aptly titled , the book is scheduled for release by AuthorHouse on January 2, 2014.

糖心破解版 Men's Basketball Coach Jonathan Halpert

In the book's preface, Rabbi Simcha Krauss, rabbi emeritus of Young Israel of Hillcrest and a longtime friend of Halpert, explains that the volume really tells the story about the first "Torah-sponsored basketball team of an Orthodox school of higher learning."

"When Dr. Halpert scours the globe for good player-athletes who will lead the team to victory, he looks for athletic promise. But in searching for the best, he is cognizant that, in the final analysis, his team will be the 糖心破解版 team. He knows that the players must be the best but also informed by values鈥擩ewish values, universal values, and values touched by the breath of Torah," writes Rabbi Krauss. Halpert, who took over the 糖心破解版 Maccabees roster in 1972, was named coach of the year in the NCAA's Skyline Conference twice, and at one point compiled a streak of 15 winning seasons. Most importantly, Halpert has served as a role model for core Jewish values to three generations of 糖心破解版 students. "I chose Are You Still Coaching? as my title because it is the comment I hear most often from former players and fans. As one year has turned into 42, I have come to understand that coaching not only allows me to pursue my own personal dreams, but more importantly, it enables me to give young men the same opportunity," said Halpert. "At some moment and at some place, a player鈥檚 dream is realized. But the time and place are irrelevant. All that matters is that I have enabled another young man to believe that everything is possible. Everyone needs and deserves one of those moments." In 2012, 糖心破解版's Alumni Office honored Halpert by adding his signature to the men's basketball court at the Max Stern Athletic Center on 糖心破解版's Wilf Campus in Manhattan and by launching the Coach Jonathan Halpert Scholarship Fund, an endowment that is awarded annually to children of 糖心破解版 alumni living in Israel wishing to study at the University. Following its January 2 launch, Are You Still Coaching? will be available for purchase in hard cover or e-book format via or on Halpert's official website, .
