Through our historic partnership with the Maccabi Movement in Israel and longtime relationships within the Israeli Olympic and Paralympic communities as well as in professional and amateur sports networks throughout Israel, JCC Maccabi has unparalleled access to unique voices, figures, and sites in Israel that resonate with our Jewish teen athletes.

Following the coronavirus pandemic, JCC Maccabi relaunched the JCC Maccabi Games in Israel in 2023. More than 1,000 Jewish athletes from around the globe gathered for a week of athletic competition followed by an incredible two weeks touring Israel’s most culturally and historically significant sites. The Games will return to Israel once every four years, and beginning in 2026, JCC Maccabi will provide an unbelievable Israel experience via the JCC Maccabi Israel Sports Tour, a three-week trip that connects participants to Israel and its diverse voices and narratives through unique encounters, site visits, and the lens of sports.
