The Jewish Sports Hall Of Fame of Western Pennsylvania was founded in 1982 with a dual mission: to honor Jewish men and women with connections to Western Pennsylvania who have excelled in athletic competition, or who have distinguished sports-related careers; and to financially support many Jewish-related sports programs in Western Pennsylvania and Israel.
