Amare Stoudemire Learns of Jewish Roots; Makes A Trip To The Holy Land

July 29th, 2010 | Posted by Leah Hollar in Basketball

Amare Stoudemire, the 27-year old power forward who just signed with the Knicks this summer, just found out after all these years that his mother is Jewish. He has decided to embrace it and learn more about the religion, by taking a trip to Israel to learn Hebrew. He’s currently in Jerusalem and said he’s already learning Hebrew. He’s been tweeting about the trip, saying “On the flight to Israel. This is going to be a great trip. The holy land. Learn about it. This is ze ha’halom sheli. Shalom.” ‘Ze ha’halom sheli’ means ‘this is my dream’ in Hebrew. Word has spread fast in Israel where they are already lobbying to for him to play on their national team. Nesi’ah tovah, Amare!
