Avi Rosenblum plays both sides. On offense, he runs and catches. On defense, he tackles. He is 6-foot-2, 210 pounds and adorned with tattoos. He is a 20-year-old African American man and the grandson of an Orthodox rabbi who survived the Holocaust.

And now, Rosenblum is one of the newest members of the Ramat Hasharon Hammers a team in the Israeli Football League, an amateur league that has been playing full-contact American football since 2007.

The Hammers played their first and only preseason game last weekend, and Rosenblum went off like a sonic boom: He caught two touchdown passes, ran for two other touchdowns and also scored a two-point conversion in the Hammers 52-26 victory over the Petah Tikva Troopers.

The Hammers, who went 8-2 last season, will open the regular season on Dec. 12 against the Jerusalem Lions.

Even before suiting up in Israel, Rosenblum had some lofty athletic achievements. He competed twice in baseball at the JCC Maccabi Games and, in 2010, was honored by the Jewish Sports Hall of Fame of Northern California.

Im a black Jew and live with everything that goes along with it, he says today. When asked to elaborate, he explains, People are surprised when theyre expecting to meet [someone with the name] Avi Rosenblum and its me. Sometimes when I go to a Jewish function, people look at me funny or ask, Do you know this is a Jewish function? Yeah, I do; Im Jewish.

According to a recent article in the Times of Israel, Rosenblum has been getting a lot of stares on the streets of Israel.

Hes also been getting many calls from papers and TV stations for interviews, says his father, Rom, a longtime audio engineer who used to work on Oakland As and San Francisco Giants broadcasts. Who knew hed be such a star? Such a proud abba [father] I am!

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Julius and Libby Nearman would be happy to know current generations of their family will gather in Charleston to light Hanukkah candles and celebrate Thanksgiving.

This week marks the first time since 1888 that the two holidays have overlapped, according to a flurry of media reports as well as Internet research.

The Nearmans founded B'nai Jacob Synagogue in the late 19th century when they had the first service in their home on what was once known as Brown Street where the Municipal Auditorium now stands. Julius and Libby were both alive in 1888 when Hanukkah and Thanksgiving overlapped.

Fast forward to 2013 and the Kanawha City home of Rita and Sherman Nemo Nearman. A gathering on Thursday will include several generations feasting on kosher fried turkey. Their great grandchildren, Shaun, 7, and Josiah, 8, will light the menorah.

Those who can't be there in person will join the family through modern technology.

"Skype is something the pilgrims didn't have and the Israelites didn't have," Nemo Nearman said.

While Hanukkah and Thanksgiving are both steeped in tradition, celebrations will remain basically the same for Charleston's Jewish community.

However, Rabbi James D. Cohn, of Temple Israel in Charleston, said celebrating the two holidays in close proximity is significant as families reflect upon their respective meanings.

"Each holiday has its own story, one with freedom in a new land and another with freedom in one's own land," he said. "So, they dovetail. Another thing that is relevant is Americans who are Jewish feel connected with their Jewish and American heritage. There is something special about celebrating one's ethnic and religious identity as we celebrate being part of the symphony of culture that makes up American life."

Aside from a feeling of thankfulness, both events have the common thread of enjoying good food.
