Next Year in Tokyo!

We Jews are used to saying Next Year in Jerusalem, but today the announcer at the Olympics qualifier game between Team Israel and Team South Africa said "Next Year in Tokyo" after Israel handily beat the South African team 11-1 to qualify for the Olympics in 2020.

this si the first time in 44 years Israel has qualified for a team sport in the Olympics. In the past 44 years (since 1976 when the Israeli football/soccer team qualified) only individual Israelis have qualified to compete, but not any Israeli teams.

good luck Team Israel

and now if Beatie Deutsch finishes her qualifications and gets to represent Israel in the Olympic marathon of Tokyo 2020, she'll have a minyan to bring along with her!
