Former NFL player to speak at temple

A program titled “From Super Bowl to Super Jew,” featuring Alan Veingrad, a former NFL offensive lineman with the Green Bay Packers and a member of the Super Bowl XXVII champion Dallas Cowboys, is set for Jan. 29 at Young Israel of East Brunswick, 193 Dunhams Corner Road. A brunch will begin at 10:30 a.m. The program will follow at 11:15 a.m.
