Sports Night of Champions brings together Jewish athletic icons, local legends, and the members of our community to celebrate our deep impact in the world of sports: not only in New Jersey, but around the globe. Since the founding of the Kurtz Family New Jersey Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in 2019, the event has also featured the induction ceremony of three classes of prominent leaders and athletic standouts with a connection to the state.
