The Southern California Jewish Sports Hall of Fame, in Beverly Hills, California, is a hall of fame dedicated to honoring American Jewish athletes, other sports personalities, and teams from Southern California who have distinguished themselves in sports.
History
The Hall of Fame was established in 1990 by a group of men and women organized by former All-America basketball player Eli Sherman. It is located in Bel Air, California, at the American Jewish University. It honors Southern California Jewish athletes, coaches, officials, media, executives, and others at both professional and non-professional levels. It also supports the Maccabiah Games in Israel, JCC Maccabi Games, and the Allan Malamud Memorial Scholarship Fund.
It has honored over 300 Jewish men, women, and teams. Inductees have included (for example) swimmers Mark Spitz and Lenny Krayzelburg, baseball Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax, all-around athlete Lillian Copeland, water polo player Merrill Moses, tennis players Brian Teacher and Stacy Margolin, and football coach Sid Gillman.
