Becker Tournament 2026

 The Israel Becker Basketball Tournament was first held in 1995 as a tribute to the memory of alumnus, varsity basketball player, and friend, Israel Becker '88 z”l . This year, we continue to celebrate over three decades of athletic excellence, community spirit, and Israel's lasting impact on TanenbaumCHAT.  

The tournament will feature five girls’ teams and four boys’ teams, with participants travelling from Montreal and Israel. Over four action-packed days on and off the court, student-athletes will compete at a high level while building meaningful connections and lifelong friendships.

To commemorate this year’s tournament, Israel's close friends—who were instrumental in organizing the inaugural tournament—are once again leading a fundraising campaign to continue honouring his legacy.
