Maccabi USA builds Jewish pride through sports and promotes support for Israel, Zionism, and Jewish continuity through athletic, educational, and cultural experiences for participants of all ages.
Maccabi USA envisions a world where sports serve as a galvanizing force in strengthening Jewish pride, connection, and community.
OUR IMPACT
Maccabi USA strengthens connections to Jewish identity, community, and Israel. But don’t just take our word for it. Let our athletes, coaches, and staff tell you how the Maccabiah impacted their journeys.
Maccabi USA sent its largest delegation ever – 1,300+ people – to Israel this summer for the life-changing Maccabiah. Watch our recap video to get a feel for the athlete experience and see why this Jewish journey leaves such a positive and lasting impact on our youth.
