Maccabi Games Take Place at the Jewish Community Centers in Miami

With the Olympics only a few weeks away, international sports is on everyone’s minds, including those at the three Greater Miami Jewish Federation-funded Jewish community centers in Miami. This year’s annual Maccabi Games – an Olympics-style competition for teenagers from 1,100 JCCs worldwide – will host more than 6,000 athletes ages 13-16 in three U.S. locations. The Michael-Ann Russell JCC, the Alper JCC Miami and the Miami Beach JCC will send more than 100 delegates to the JCC Maccabi Games and Artsfest in Stamford, CT, August 7-12. Among those traveling from Miami will also be a handful of basketball players and coaches from Yerucham, Miami’s partnership city in Israel. In addition to their basketball competition, Israeli participants will have the opportunity to make new friends and experience the diversity of the Jewish people.
