Although our father is described in his high school year-

Mr. Harry Rashbaum, tells the classic story of the yarmul-
ke and the football and why no one wanted to have
Shmuel Dovid on his team after that incident: “It was the
final moments of the football game, and the ball had been
passed to Shmuel Dovid. As the ball approached, Shmuel
Dovid jumped in the air, and his yarmulke slipped off his
head. All of us on Shmuel Dovid’s team knew that we were
in trouble. What would Shmuel Dovid go for? Would it be
the yarmulke or the ball? The ball or the yarmulke? He
chose the yarmulke.” Needless to say, our father’s team lost
the game. But, as Mr. Rashbaum mused, Shmuel Dovid’s
choice was truly a testimony to the homes of all of the boys
in the class and the chinuch that they were receiving.
