In order to honor Sholem Benchimol Muller Z’L’s passion for soccer and his deep desire to become the first professional soccer player in USA to jump onto the soccer field while wearing his kippah and not playing on Shabbat, Sholem Corazon Valiente created Beitar Miami, a project developed in partnership with Beitar Jerusalem, one of the most popular Israeli soccer clubs, that consists in a soccer academy that, in line with the Jewish values that Sholem embraced, respects unrestricted Shabbat and Hebrew holidays.
Sholem represented many values on and off the field. We are keeping his legacy alive by combining his values and passion regarding Judaism and soccer. By combining soccer and Judaism in a recreational and sporty space, we keep Sholem’s commitment and passions alive, always in line with the values that he spreaded day by day: pride, trust, companionship and resilience, not only for himself but also for those who have accompanied him.
