Maccabi Games
The Maccabi Games is an annual event in North America where teens compete in Olympic-style games.
About The JCC Maccabi Games
A program of the Jewish Community Center Association (JCCA), the games bring together thousands of Jewish teens for several days of competition. It is a unique opportunity to come together in the name of sportsmanship while experiencing many of the Jewish values such as compassion, giving and life experiences.
Participating in the JCC Maccabi Games is the opportunity of a lifetime. Teens not only build new connections with local peers, they also create new friendships with other Jewish youth from around the world.
