Offered here is a splendid image of a Young Men's Hebrew Association (YMHA) basketball team from the 1920s. With bold uniforms and an arts and crafts look, this photograph offers an interesting historical perspective on the growth of the sport among Jews. Invented by James Naismith at a YMCA, the sport quickly transcended ethnic, cultural, and religious boundaries. Matted to 14" x 12".
