Israel Connect
Maccabi USA’s Israel Connect program is a 6-day immersive journey focused on building connection to one’s own Jewish Identity, the American Jewish community, Israel, and global Diaspora Jewry. It has become the cornerstone of the US delegation’s 3-week Maccabiah experience. Thank you to our sponsors and supporters for helping make this possible, including: the JNF-USA Boruchin Center, the Seed the Dream Foundation, the Paul Singer Family Foundation, the Jewish Education Project/RootOne, and Maccabi World Union/Kfar Maccabiah.

We are disheartened to hear that Team Ramat Gan – the top Israeli 3x3 men’s basketball team, which includes Maccabi USA alum Niv Konfino – has been excluded from an Olympic qualifying tournament in Versailles due to their country of origin. Sports should provide an opportunity for athletes of... all backgrounds to participate and we are proud to support all Israeli teams and athletes looking to qualify for the Olympic Games, continuing to build Jewish pride through sports.
