High Holiday sermon tidbits

Yizkor
20th anniversary of Field of Dreams movie -"If you build it , he will come" ( culturally has become if you build it, they will come.) Sports Illustrated article July 13. Film Critic Roger Ebert on day film appeared-There is a speech in this movie
about baseball that is so simple and true that it is heartbreaking...Why do they come back from the great beyond and play in that cornfield? Not to make any kind of vast, earth shattering statement. People left the theater crying, thanks to the moment when Ray Kinsella, played by Kevin Costner, turns to his father, another ghost from the cornfield and says "hey Dad, you wanna have a catch." Playing catch with you dad..is a step towards becoming a man..its a lovely experience ..the sharing of something sweet.
