Heading Home To Pittsburgh: Pirates Celebrate Jewish Community

Heading Home: The Tale of Team Israel is more than just a story about Team Israel's impressive run at the 2017 World Baseball Classic. It's an exploration of Jewish identity in the context of American citizenship (the team included both Israelis and American Jews), the worldwide community (it was Israel's first time qualifying for WBC's main tournament), and history (the process of identifying and confirming "Jewishness" has ugly historical precedents, but here, it's a celebration of community). Join one of the film's producers, Jonathan Mayo, along with Pirates announcer, Greg Brown, and Pirates president Frank Coonelly for Heading Home To Pittsburgh: Pirates Celebrate Jewish Community at Regent Square Theatre. The event includes food, giveaways, a screening of the film, and a Q&A with Mayo and Brown afterward. The Pirate Parrot will also be there.
