The International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame (Hebrew: יד לאיש הספורט היהודי, romanizedYad Le'ish HaSport HaYehudi) was opened July 7, 1981, in Netanya, Israel. It honors Jewish athletes and their accomplishments from anywhere around the world.

It is located at the Wingate Institute for Physical Education and Sport. It has inducted over 400 athletes and sportspersons representing 40 countries.[1] The Hall elects new honorees each year, with submissions due December 1 for votes for the following year, and a formal induction ceremony taking place several days prior to the Maccabiah Games every four years.[2]

History

[edit]

The Hall was founded in 1979 by Joseph M. Siegman, a television producer and writer from Beverly Hills, California, and pharmacist Alan Sherman.[3][4]
