Maccabi
Be a part of something that’s larger than life with the JCC Maccabi Games — an Olympic-style event that’s bigger than sports! More than competition, the Games build community, teamwork, and Jewish pride. Teens take part in athletic events, opening and closing ceremonies, community service, and unforgettable social experiences. Rooted in six core Jewish values—Tikkun Olam (repairing the world), Kavod (respect), Rina (joy), Ga’ava (pride), Lev Tov (kindness), and Amiut Yehudit (Jewish peoplehood)—the Games inspire lasting friendships, memories, and a true sense of belonging.
