The Tallahassee Jewish Federation is pleased to present a special film Heading Home – The Tale of Team Israel. We were very fortunate to have Rom Blomberg, a former New York Yankees player speak to our community in September and he discussed this film. Heading Home – The Tale of Team Israel is the story of Israel’s surprising success in the World Baseball Classic in March, 2017.

Every player on the team was either an Israeli or a Jewish American eligible for Israeli citizenship. The documentary follows the team winning the qualifier, practicing before hundreds of local baseball players in Israel and taking part in the groundbreaking ceremony for a new baseball field in Beth Shemesh, Israel.

The odds against Israel were 200-1 and the team was ranked 41st in the world. Israel beat teams from Cuba, South Korea, China, Taiwan and the Netherlands – all ranked in the top 10 in the world. Israel finished 6^th in the tournament.

The Florida Sun Sentinel called the movie a “moving underdog story that should inspire people”.

The film will be presented Friday, November 15 at 6pm on Sunday November 17 (please note the time) at 5 PM at All Saints Cinema – 918 Railroad Avenue.
