Lots of folks make unpredictable twists and turns as they navigate their modern-day personal journeys, but who could imagine a stint as a pro football cheerleader would lead down a path to modern Orthodox Judaism?

    Sandy Wolshin had a girlhood dream of leading cheers from the sidelines. That’s one goal she never had doubts about, but the zigzags she encounters in getting there—and then in getting on—provide the comedy in this piece Sandy calls her “truish, Jewish love story.”
