Faith on the Field: Jewish Athletes in America

Can you be fully committed to Jewish tradition while competing at the highest levels of college athletics? Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove and Jon Frankel speak with Division I quarterback Zevi Eckhaus and Michigan baseball player Elie Kligman about navigating Shabbat, Yom Kippur, locker room culture, and life as openly Jewish athletes. From honoring faith commitments on game day to educating curious teammates about Judaism, both athletes share how they balance ambition with identity — and what it means to represent their community on and off the field.
