The International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame (IJSHOF) (Template:Langx) is the international hall of fame for Jewish athletes and special contributors to the world of sport. [1]
The purpose of the IJSHOF is to honor Jewish individuals, worldwide, who have accomplished extraordinary achievements in sports and to honor those who have made significant contributions to society through sports. [1]
The IJSHOF has inducted over 500 athletes and sportspersons representing over 30 countries.[2] 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.[3]
History
The IJSHOF's predecessor, the Jewish Sports Hall of Fame, was founded in 1979 by Joseph M. Siegman, a television producer and writer from Beverly Hills, California, and pharmacist Alan Sherman of Rockville, Maryland.[4][5] The original Hall of Fame included only American honorees.[1]
In 1981, the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame Museum was dedicated at the Wingate Institute in Netanya, Israel.[6]
