B’nai Sholom Reform Congregation will host a “Bagels and Baseball” brunch with William Simons, co-director of the Cooperstown Symposium on Baseball and American Culture. Simons’ presentation, “Jews, Dodgers and Brooklyn: Before the Diaspora,” will examine the special relationship that existed between Brooklyn’s large Jewish community and baseball’s Dodgers before they departed for Los Angeles.

The program is free and open to all; donations welcome and appreciated. Bagels, coffee and tea will be available 10-10:30 a.m. Non-B’nai Sholom congregants wishing to attend in person must pre-register at https://forms.office.com/r/wHvnvGELgQ. Doors will close at 10:40 a.m., and backpacks may not be brought into the building. In addition, Simons’ talk will be streamed via Zoom.
