Since its beginning in 1962, the Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in Rochester, NY has recognized outstanding achievement in athletics and sports for this community’s citizens. The span of members inducted over the years have served to link the generations of local men and women, both past and present who have excelled in competition, or have displayed extraordinary athletic leadership skills. Several inductees have achieved special international fame and national prominence, yet all inductees have respectfully brought honor and are a source of pride to the Rochester Jewish community’s identity by their image and performance.
