Ahead of Super Bowl Sunday on Sunday, Yeshiva University produced a 35-minute halftime show featuring three professors who share their thoughts on the spiritual side of sports. You could say it’s the Modern Orthodox take on Tebow’s evangelical Christian beliefs.
The Y.U. Torah Halftime show is the brainchild of Moshe Isaacson, Y.U.’s director of interactive marketing. He said that the aha moment came two months ago, when someone told him that Tebow etches Bible verses into his under-eye paint during games.
“That got the wheels turning,” Isaacson recalled thinking. “Here’s a guy who’s capturing the attention of millions of people, and he’s really proving the case that there’s no need to live your life in compartments — you can put religion and sports together.”
