The Story of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the Rabbi-Truth! & Fiction!
This is a forwarded story about Rabbi Yisrael Mir Lau and Lakers basketball player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. It says that Jabbar is flying to Israel, on the dying wish of his father, to meet with Rabbi Lau and that Jabbar’s father, Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor, Sr., served in the U.S. Army’s 761st Tank Battalion in World War II that rescued Lau from Nazi concentration camp when Rabbi Lau was a child.
