The Daily Princetonian checks in with recent graduate Scott Greenman, who is playing for the Israeli professional basketball team Bnei HaSharon this year. The former Ivy League star talks about celebrating Rosh HaShanah in the Holy Land:

“What our team did was we went up to the restaurant in the hotel and put napkins on our heads as yarmulkes, said about two prayers, then ate, and it was like any other meal,” Greenman said.

The new Israeli citizen is already enjoying the benefits of living abroad.

Greenman, who during his days at Princeton was listed at five feet, nine inches, is credited with being 5′11″ on Bnei’s official roster.
“I grew two inches over the summer,” Greenman said, before coming clean. “I think in the translation from inches to centimeters, you get to add a couple here or there.”
