JCC Maccabi Games
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 Games serve a larger purpose than just athletic competition. The
Games 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 national scope of the JCC
Maccabi Games, please visit our website by clicking here.

I truly enjoyed the Maccabi Games experience. My host family was so helpful and nice and we got along great! I enjoyed meeting and competing with athletes from all over the world. I loved being with all Jewish teens—the feeling of everyone celebrating Judaism was great.
