STUART WEITZMAN
SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Generations of young Jewish athletes in financial need can now enjoy a life-changing Maccabiah experience thanks to iconic shoe designer and 4-time Maccabi USA Table Tennis alum, Stuart Weitzman. Maccabi USA’s flag bearer at the 21st Maccabiah provided a matching gift of $4.5M that spurred $2.5M in additional donations and is the largest gift in the organization’s history. Please enjoy our tribute to Stuart!

Maccabi Media’s Josh Markowitz sat down with Shane Carr to uncover the heartfelt journey of bringing the close-knit spirit of camp to the global stage as Senior Director of Programs for Maccabi USA and the lead professional for the 2026 Maccabiah.
Long before joining Maccabi USA, Shane ...Carr’s sense of purpose was deeply shaped by his Jewish summer camp experience, his nearly decade-long tenure with the Union for Reform Judaism, and a transformative semester at Tel Aviv University. Drawing from this foundation, he decided to move from URJ to Maccabi USA, where these influences became central to his role.
The countdown begins. 2 months til the Opening Ceremony. Who’s ready?
Register now for our 4th Annual Bob Spivak Philadelphia Golf Tournament in memory of Maccabi's Past Board President Bob Spivak.

In a post–October 7th world, showing up means more. Standing together means more. Being proud means more.
The Maccabiah Games remind us that no matter where we come from, we are one people, connected by history, identity, and a shared future.
More Than Ever, we show up with ...pride.
More Than Ever, we build community.
More Than Ever, we stand with Israel.
One of the beautiful things about the Maccabi experience is that “aha” moment when people come together with a new lens, a Jewish perspective that they may not have previously had.
Maccabi Media’s Ethan Kerstine interviews Doug Homer about this very subject and how one Shabbat ...dinner opened him up to more than an emotional connection, but a personal connection to the host family as well.
