On September 13th 2025, 187 Jewish and pro-Israel students from Grades 5-12 brought our community to the rink, celebrating Jewish identity through sport at our 2nd Annual Herzl Cup!
It was a firm reminder to our players to always be proud of who they are, to stand up for what they believe in, and to invest meaningfully in their relationship with the Jewish community.
But the weekend’s biggest win? Seeing these young men and women upholding the longstanding Jewish value of Tzedakah, and raising money to support their peers across the country. Together, they raised over $118,000 to support our Emerson Fellows and Leventhal Interns as they stand up to antisemitism and the delegitimization of Israel on their high school and university campuses.
It is with huge thanks to our volunteer committee that we were able to pull this off. We are so grateful for the leadership, dedication, and vision that has already made this tournament so meaningful to the community just two years in!
We’d also like to thank our Presenting Sponsors, KSV Advisory, as well as our Rink Sponsors, Lax O’Sullivan Lisus Gottlieb LLP, and the entire group of generous sponsors that made this event possible. Please see the final slide of this post to view the full list.
Finally, congratulations to our champions!
