Amar'e Stoudemire

Athlete

Former NBA legend Amar'e Stoudemire has been getting more in touch with his Jewish roots since he moved to Israel in 2016, under a two-year deal that saw the former New York Knicks star playing for Hapoel Jerusalem. On a visit in August 2018 to New York, Stoudemire told interviewers during a visit to the Jewish Museum that when he's not training, "I study Torah. Study, train, study, train, study, train, study. That’s life.” He added, “I study with elders, with rabbis, with everyone. I don’t limit myself.” Stoudemire calls his growing, private collection of art the Melech Collection, which makes use of the Hebrew word for “king,” and his latest acquisition is a 45-foot mural depicting the siege of Jerusalem’s Second Temple. Stoudemire also has a wine label, Stoudemire Cellars, that released a line of three kosher-for-Passover wines this year.
