Together with his coach Howard (Chaim) Katz, Goodman will run a basketball clinic on Thursday afternoon, May 20, the eve of the Jewish holiday of Shavuoth. In addition, Goodman and Katz will run an insightful Q&A session during the holiday itself. "Shavuoth celebrates g-d giving the commandments to the Jewish people. We feel the statement Tamir made by choosing to give priority to g-d's commandments (like Sabbath observance) over the potentially lucrative opportunities offered by college and pro-ball, make for an ideal holiday message," said Marty Seigmeister, the hotel's general manager. Katz took the opportunity to note that given the large amount of families the hotel attracts for the Shavuoth holiday, Goodman will have an opportunity to meet with his single largest constituency -- Jewish kids. "Kids can spot the genuine article a mile away, and the reason they all look up to Tamir is that he's the `real thing', both from a Judaism and athletic standpoint. He's a positive role model that shows certain things take precedence to the `all-mighty dollar' philosophy that's so prevalent in our society," said Katz. The concept of bringing up Goodman for the three-day holiday was the brainstorm of Sam Ash, the Homowack's self-described "Minister of Entertainment" and a Creative Director at MSA (Metropolitan Service Area) An urban area with at least 50,000 people plus surrounding counties.
