Our Mission

When growing up in the United States in the fifties Israel was a point of pride for Jews worldwide. After independence, it fought the Arab nations to secure its existence. Looking for role models, there was the Jewish state and the Israelis.

Throughout the sixties and seventies Israel continued to be a point of pride for many Jews. It fought several wars against the Arabs whose forces outnumbered those of the Jewish state and won each confrontation. Regardless of the odds, the Jewish state prevailed, providing Jews worldwide with role models

More than warriors, Israelis had built farms where there had been deserts. Where once there was nothing, there was plenty. The Jewish state had industry while their neighbors suffered poverty. They offered their citizens education and health care while most Arab states offered their citizens nothing. In the second half of the twentieth century, when a Jew felt overwhelmed, he or she could find strength in thinking about Israel and its many heroes.

Sixty years have gone by since the founding of the Jewish state. Its accomplishments are no longer new and exciting. So, now the question for Jews is, whom do we and our children look to find our heroes?

Historically, the strength of the Jewish people could be found in their community. They could travel in Europe in the middle ages and find a Jewish community in which to rest, secure nourishment and comfort. We believe that in the twenty first century Jews can find this comfort and emotional nourishment on the Internet. We have formed Jewish Pride Sports Heroes, LLC to offer Jewish people throughout the world a place to reconnect with their sports and other heroes - a place where they can reconnect with their community.
