The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington brought together more than 1,500 community members at Federation’s Grand Slam Sunday: Jewish Community Day at Nationals Park.

We snapped local businessman Harvey Goodman with new Jewish Federation CEO Gil Preuss. Goodman was given the honor of throwing out the first pitch for his commitment to the Jewish Community of Greater Washington.

The third annual event began as a brainchild between the Nats' owners, the Lerner family and the Jewish Federation. Two hours before the game, the federation hosted an array of activities around the ballpark, inviting families and friends to connect to one another and to the larger Jewish community. Here, members of PJ Our Way join the National's mascot, "Screech."

Here, Nationals players Matt Albers and Joe Bryant sign the special Jewish Federation baseball hats for members of PJ Our Way, a group dedicated to providing books with a Jewish theme to other kids and their families.
