Tribe NIL is proud to announce the selection of Maya Kirstein, a standout NCAA student-athlete from Holliston, MA, to its inaugural roster of 50 Jewish college athletes. This honor recognizes not only Maya’s excellence in field hockey at Meredith College but also their leadership, values, and identity as a Jewish college athlete.
Tribe NIL is the first of its kind initiative dedicated exclusively to supporting Jewish NCAA student-athletes. Through direct financial support, career development, and brand-building rooted in Jewish values, Tribe NIL empowers its roster to lead on the field, on campus, and in their communities.
“Tribe NIL is not just about brand deals—it’s about direct-to-athlete impact, athlete-led advocacy, and building a global network of Jewish sports leaders for the next generation,” said Tribe NIL Co-Founder and CEO, Jeremy Moses.
“It’s not the easiest time to be a Jewish college student, especially a Jewish student-athlete. We want to show them that the Jewish community as a whole has their support,” added Co-Founder and President, Eitan Levine.
Tribe NIL Board Member, former professional soccer player and Survivor winner, Ethan Zohn added, “Connecting Jewish student-athletes to the Jewish community through NIL, programming, and community building is an amazing opportunity to highlight the next generation of leaders. As a former Jewish student-athlete myself, I wish something like this had existed when I was in college.”
Since 2021, NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deals have unlocked new opportunities for athletes, but most deals benefit the top 10% of talent. There’s a clear need to provide opportunities to Jewish student-athletes, bridging the gap between traditional NIL and Jewish advocacy.
To support our growing tribe of athletes, people can become a Tribe Insider and gain access to exclusive content, events, and more from our roster.

With Maya’s selection, Tribe NIL continues its mission to turn collective Jewish pride into direct athlete impact.
