In loving memory of Sholem Benchimol Z'L

SHOLEM CORAZON VALIENTE

Spreading Sholem's values

Sholem Benchimol Z'L was a passionate 17-year-old and the youngest of four. His love of soccer developed from an early age, and his dream was to become a professional player while wearing his Kippah and always representing his strong Jewish pride.

As he himself had many challenges because of his many international relocations, he empathized with others facing hardships and always tried to help with a smile on his face. Since his passing, we are keeping his legacy alive by combining his values and passion of Judaism and soccer
