Because of her Orthodox religion, Naama Shafir doesn't ride in cars or use modern conveniences on the Sabbath. My favorite part in this Dave Hackenberg column is how she had to walk a half hour in Grand Forks, North Dakota to a January 2, 2010 game against the Sioux and had a 16-point, 9-assist game. According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, on 1/2/10 in Grand Forks there was a high of -16º F with a low of -33º. This is, of course, one small anecdote in the heartwarming journey of Shafir from Israel to Toledo.
