Philadelphia Jewish Sports Hall of Fame Our mission is to honor and take pride in the achievements of Jewish athletes and others in the world

Welcome to the Philadelphia Jewish Sports Hall of Fame and Adolph and Rose Levis Museum. Our mission is to provide the Community with tangible and lasting evidence of the past, present and future of Jewish sportsmen and sportswomen in our area and to instill Community pride in Jewish accomplishments in the field of sports and the role sports has played in preserving Je

wish culture. The Hall and Museum reflect the obstacles we, as Jews, had to overcome in order to excel in sporting endeavors locally, nationally and internationally; portray the instrumental role sports has played in success in life; and provide continuity to future generations of Jewish athletes. The inductees into the Philadelphia Jewish Sports Hall of Fame represent the best of the best, those individuals and teams who, through perseverance, dedication, superior talent and skills, have risen to the top of their respective sports. We honor their names and extol their achievements within the walls of this Museum. The indelible impression left by sports to many generations of Americans has also become a great source of Jewish pride and inspiration.

Now more than ever, Jewish representation in sports is so important. Jon Scheyer of Duke University, Todd Golden of University of Florida, and Bruce Pearl of Auburn University have led their teams to the Final Four, and are all proud Jews!

Golden and Scheyer have both played in Israel, and Pearl has taken his team on a trip there. Pearl has also been very outspoken about his support for Israel, even calling for the release of Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander in a postgame press conference during the tournament.

The last Jewish coach to win the tournament was PJSHOF Class of 2013 inductee, Larry Brown, who won in 1988 with Kansas.

Best of luck to all the coaches!

Through advocacy and action, they have helped combat antisemitism and promote inclusivity. This year’s recipient is sports journalist and author, Mike Sielski. Can’t wait to celebrate all of this year’s winners at our induction ceremony in September! Stay tuned for more details!
