What is Championsgate? 

The ChampionsGate Community is a cadre of prominent and prolific thinkers and doers of the Jewish world. Our community convenes at an annual conference in Orlando, Florida, and serves as a think-tank and action-center for Yeshiva University throughout the year. 

Extending far beyond the conference itself, the ChampionsGate community addresses the major opportunities and challenges facing the Jewish Community at large. ChampionsGate Ambassadors participate in a series of conference calls and follow up conversations together with Yeshiva University administration to guide and implement exciting new initiatives that advance our values and communities. Additionally, the ChampionsGate Online Community, found at yuchampionsgate.org, presents a forum for all members of this community to share, engage, and question their colleagues about new ideas and successes. 

Who is Championsgate For? 

Invited by President Richard M. Joel, ambassadors from a variety of fields and locations assemble at the annual ChampionsGate Conference in Orlando to make a significant impact on the Jewish community. Ambassadors are primarily lay leaders, joined by select Jewish Community Professionals, Heads of School, and Rabbis, who shape the Jewish community on both the local and national level. Many of the ideas formed and discussed during past conferences have directly influenced Jewish communities in North America and beyond. Ambassadors are always invited as a couple.
