WHAT ARE THE JCC MACCABI GAMES?

The JCC Maccabi Games® have been offering a life- and personality-shaping experience to Jewish teenagers since 1982.  At this Jewish Olympic style event, each athlete has the chance to participate in one of 14 sports in events spanning the week-long experience, creating memories that will last a lifetime.  The JCC Maccabi Games can be called the Olympics for Jewish teens, but they serve a larger purpose than athletic competition.  The Games also promote community involvement, teamwork, and pride in being Jewish.  The Games are the largest Jewish teen event in the world – each summer over 6,000 Jewish teens participate in the Games.  Over 100,000 teens have benefited from the JCC Maccabi Games since 1982.  The energy and excitement make it a unique and unforgettable experience for every participant, from athletes to volunteers, from coaches to host families.

The JCC Maccabi Games are made possible with the generous help of many sponsors and volunteers who donate time and valuable resources, including our continental sponsor, The Coca-Cola Company.  For more information about the JCC Maccabi Games, please visit our website at www.jccmaccabi.org.
