Jai Alai isn’t just betting. It’s a beautiful sports with many centuries of tradition, and still today it is the worlds fastest ballgame. How can it possibly be impossible to make such a sport grow again?

Thank you so much for bringing visibility to the disappeared, silenced, and invisible migrants that are also contributing members of our society and economy.

Jews in Israel to live freely from physical harm.
