National Jewish Museum Sports Hall of Fame

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not to be confused with International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame.

The National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame and Museum, in Commack, New York, is dedicated to honoring American Jewish sports figures who have distinguished themselves in sports.

Its objective is to foster Jewish identity through athletics, and to commemorate sports heroes who have emerged from a people not commonly associated with sports.
