Time-out appeals to the sports
fanatic who wonders what Torah can offer him, the Torah scholar
who questions whether sports can teach positive lessons, and everyone
in-between. Whether it's learning about consistency from Cal Ripken,
Jr, developing a work ethic from Michael Jordan, or striving to
reach beyond your potential from the U.S. Olympic Hockey Team,
each chapter keeps you at the edge of your seat cheering for the
Torah concept with no less enthusiasm than for the against-all-odds
touchdown.
Every entry is a winner and each one conveys a priceless lesson
in an unforgettable metaphor.
Rabbi Dov Lipman was raised
in Silver Spring, Maryland. He attended the Yeshiva of Greater

rabbinic ordination from Rabbi Yaakov Weinberg of Ner Israel Rabbincal
College.
