Countdown to the attacks for portraying shimshon without a shirt/as a muscleman/as a greek/not learning/not as I picture him/not as my rebbe pictures him/etc/etc/etc?
Shimshon would have had to suffer the indignity in that moment of probably being stripped of his clothing. And he was a strong dude (with amazing hair, presumably) so I think the portrayal isn't so bad 😊
Besides, yidden can be strong muscular guys, why not.

We camped out in the desert for 40 years. We're I'll equipped for sprinting 😂. But shouldn't we be great at endurance sports then...🤔

I'm not sure how much of that amazing hair was left at the time he brought the house down, but this is a depiction that just about anybody should understand with needing any explanations.

For some reason i kinda doubt depicting him with a shtreimel and peyos would quite work so well.

makes me think of http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106611/
Fun fact, when I trained in Jamaica this summer I stayed in the home of the mother of the main brakeman on that 88 team, Chris Stokes. It was hellishly hot and mosquito bites like mad, but it was all for the cause. Or so I think.

Would there be kosher food provided if an athlete wanted? Or would you have to bring it yourself?
