JL;DR SUMMARY Eliezer Sherbatov, a trailblazing hockey player born in Israel to Russian parents, has navigated a diverse and challenging career spanning various countries, including being the first Israeli to play in the Kontinental Hockey League and captaining Israel's national men's hockey team. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
