This page has been set up in memory of JNF-USA colleague, Mark Spielvogel. His passion for sports was well known by all -- in his memory, all gifts will be directed to the Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Sports Complex. Please contact Ashley Emrani with any questions on how to donate.

The Regional Sports Complex for the Israel Envelope in the Sha’ar Hanegev region will be a game-changer for quality of life in the area. The facility will include:

Professional athletic tracks
Long and short jump pits
Soccer fields
Stadium seating and bleachers for fans
Dressing rooms, referee rooms and restrooms
Bomb shelters
Accessible parking lot
Surrounding gardens


Activities will include programs that promote resilience, programs for people with special needs, school Phys-ed classes for surrounding schools and Sapir college students, national football league games, the National Football Tournament that attracts thousands of spectators, the Lacrosse league and more.

More than just a facility; it is a statement that we stand with our friends in the region and shows our enemies we are here to stay.
