📰 News we're reading

• The future of Jewish Phillies (thegoodphight.com) — Malvern residents may recognize catcher Jordan Dissin, a Malvern Prep graduate now rising through the Phillies’ minor league system, where he’s praised for his defense and arm. A Jewish player highlighted in a Chanukkah wrap-up, Dissin spent 2025 between Jersey Shore and Reading, though his hitting still needs to catch up to his glove.
