December 2nd, 2026 ══ ✡︎ ══ 7-10PM
LAST YEAR, BROTHERS OF ST. ANDREWS RAISED $700,000 TO COMBAT ANTISEMITISM, PROVIDE HUMANITARIAN AID TO IDF SOLDIERS, AND SUPPORT JEWISH STUDENTS ON CAMPUSES WORLDWIDE.
Brothers of St. Andrews is a community that shows up in action. In December 2025, 150 members gathered at Meat Market Boca Raton and raised $700,000 for IDF soldiers and Jewish students facing antisemitism on college campuses. Special guests included celebrity pro-Israel activist, Montana Tucker and former October 7th hostage, Omer Shem Tov, who shared his story from the 10/7 attacks.
Now we're doing it again: BIGGER. On December 2, 2026, we come together with featured guest, Bruce Pearl, to make an even greater impact for the State of Israel and her people, Jewish students globally, and fighting antisemitsm.
"I’m a Jewish American basketball coach and I’m a proud ZIONIST"
-BRUCE PEARL
BRUCE PEARL
Bruce Pearl is one of the most accomplished coaches in college basketball history and one of the most outspoken Jewish voices in American sports. As the winningest head coach in Auburn University basketball history, Pearl led the Tigers to six NCAA Tournament appearances and two Final Four runs in his 11-year tenure — earning AP Coach of the Year honors along the way.
But Pearl's impact extends far beyond the court. A proud Jewish American, Pearl has used his platform relentlessly to stand up for Israel and the Jewish people at a time when it wasn't always comfortable to do so. He coached the USA Maccabi team to a gold medal at the 2009 Maccabiah Games in Israel, brought his Auburn players to the Holy Land to experience it firsthand — making Auburn the first Division I basketball team to play a professional Israeli team — and opened a March Madness press conference demanding the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza. When he led 120 Jewish high school students in chanting "Am Yisrael Chai" after a nationally televised game, the moment went viral with over a million views.
Pearl co-founded the Jewish Coaches Association, received the Champion of Israel Award from the Manhattan Jewish Experience, and serves as Chairman of the US-Israel Education Association — bringing congressional leaders to Israel to experience the country firsthand. He received a personal call from Israeli President Isaac Herzog following Auburn's Final Four run.
For Bruce Pearl, none of it is political. It's personal. It's survival. And he's never been afraid to say so.
Each year, Brothers of St. Andrews selects causes that reflect our commitment to Israel and the Jewish people. These are our 2026 picks:
STUDENTS SUPPORTING ISRAEL
SSI is the largest pro-Israel college student movement in the world, with chapters on 150+ campuses globally. SSI students are proactively on the frontlines — educating, organizing, and refusing to be silent about Israel through their student-led chapters under one unified name: Students Supporting Israel.
YASHAR LACHAYAL
Yashar LaChayal provides direct humanitarian support to IDF soldiers — from tactical gear to emotional wellbeing and rehabilitation support programs. Every dollar ensures that the men and women defending Israel have what they need to serve and return home safely.
ATHLETES FOR ISRAEL
AFI partners with athletes on trips to Israel to experience Israel firsthand, engaging in local activities, communities, & athletic competitions. Through their journey, they use their platforms to help in the fight against antisemitism by sharing authentic stories and firsthand experiences from Israel.
