The International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame is more than a tribute to the past. We are a movement for the future. As we honor legends who paved the way, we are building a global platform to inspire the next generation of Jewish athletes, fans, and storytellers. Here’s what’s next.
The International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame is entering an exciting new chapter, with a dynamic lineup of events that reflect our renewed vision and growing global presence. The next few years are filled with opportunities to celebrate Jewish athletic achievement and connect with our expanding community. These events mark just the beginning of our bold new direction—one that honors the past while building a vibrant, inclusive future for the Hall.
While our home is in Israel, we’re exploring ways to host IJSHOF induction ceremonies across the globe. Future events may rotate through key cities with large Jewish and sports communities, making it easier for you to attend, celebrate, and participate.
THE GOAL: Expand our reach, grow our community, and bring IJSHOF pride to more people in more places.

We’re in the planning process to build a digital museum experience, available 24/7/365, allowing anyone, anywhere to explore our rich Jewish sports history with pride and purpose. This immersive platform will educate and engage all visitors, especially Gen Z and Gen Alpha, through interactive timelines, video stories, and athlete archives.
We’re leveling up our digital presence to meet the moment. From “Did You Know?” features and spotlights to campaigns tackling antisemitism with facts and pride, we’re showing the world what Jewish strength really looks like, on and off the field.
IJSHOF is launching an international intern program, with students and young professionals covering sports scenes in their regions. These contributors will research, write, and share the success stories of Jewish athletes past and present — spotlighting unsung heroes from every corner of the globe.
