STUART WEITZMAN SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Stuart Weitzman, Maccabi USA table tennis alum and shoe icon, challenged us to a match in 2022. Not at table tennis, but to endow need-based scholarships for young Jews to participate in the life-changing Maccabiah experience in Israel. With your help, Maccabi USA stepped up in a big way, raising more than $2.5M! With Stuart’s generous $4.5M match, the Stuart Weitzman Scholarship Fund will now distribute 350+ scholarships for every Maccabiah quadrennial in perpetuity!
The Maccabiah is the largest gathering of Diaspora Jewry in the world and a transformational opportunity that uses sports to build Jewish identity, community, and connection to Israel. Including Maccabi USA’s signature Israel Connect educational program, this three-week experience leaves a lasting and positive impact on Jews of all backgrounds. Stuart believes cost should never be a barrier for participation, and we know you feel the same.
