Basketball is a melodic sport. The steady dribble of the ball provides a drumline, the symphony of squeaking sneakers mimics a harmony, and the “oohs” and “aahs” of the spectators supply vocals. It is difficult to find another sport where music is as integral to the game day experience as it is to basketball. From warm-up playlists handpicked by players to iconic themes played after wins, it is impossible to deny the connection between basketball and music. At the Palestra, this relationship is evident and spearheaded by a student DJ, Ryo Lindsey.

When I arrived in Israel two months after Oct. 7, I met a different country, a changed people. Something of the native Israeli arrogance, cynicism, and semi-indifference to the surrounding, the self-confidence, and sense of superiority, had disappeared. They were replaced by a craving for closeness, a desire for a hug, a kind of heart-wrenching despair. Moreover, these desires and cravings were expressed with surprising directness. The people whom we met showered us with warmth and affection, for we came from far away to be with them in their time of pain, even for a few days.
