The Schwartz brothers explain that it’s partially genetic and it’s partially a childhood filled with matzo ball soup, latkes, and white rice.įootball was not the favorite sport of either brother. We aren’t sure just how big Geoff was at that age, but we know he is the bigger brother in multiple meanings of the word.
Mitchell was 6’5′ and 240 pounds in 9th grade. The boys couldn’t play football until high school they were too big for local youth football leagues. The Schwartz Brothers at the synagogue – John Solano/via JTA It is truly beautiful that the Schwartz brothers had the freedom to be proud of and be open with their name in the NFL and in American society as a whole – something that wasn’t awarded to the Horween brothers nearly a century before. Jewish parents often give their children a Hebrew name and a secular name. Geoff’s Jewish name is Gedalia Yitzhak, and Mitchell’s is Mendel. Sports weren’t really an option until the Schwartz brothers were 13 because their parents wanted to focus on their Bar Mitzvahs prior to that. Both boys attended a Hebrew school and a synagogue growing up in Los Angeles. In stark contrast to the Horween brothers, the Schwartz brothers were raised in conservative Judaism and continue to live their faith into adulthood. Their father is a business consultant, and their mother is a lawyer. Mitchell Bryan Schwartz came in second in 1989 and was born in the Pacific Palisades in California. Geoff Isaiah Schwartz was born in 1986 to Lee Schwartz and Olivia Goodkin in Los Angeles, California.
