The Toronto Raptors are one game away from winning its first NBA championship on Thursday, in addition to gaining a complimentary trip to the ultimate Promised Land.
The team’s Jewish billionaire co-owner, Larry Tanenbaum, told several people during a recent trip to Israel, “If we win the NBA championship, I will come with the Toronto Raptors to visit the Holy Land.”
Tanenbaum, a prominent and philanthropic member of the Toronto Jewish community, helped found the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs.
The Raptors lead the Golden State Warriors three games to two in the best-of-seven series.
