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.

Happy Tu Bishvat from the Maccabi USA Family!

Today, we honor our roots, celebrate growth, and strengthen the connections that bring our community together

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jews murdered and the millions more murdered by the Nazis.

We remember their lives, share their stories, and make it our responsibility to never forget.

From Maccabi World Union:

“With the return of Ran Gvili (may his memory be a blessing), the last fallen hostage still held in Gaza has finally been brought home.

After more than two years of waiting, this chapter has come to its painful close. His memory will be with us always, ...and his return allows his family - and all of us - a measure of closure.

Maccabi World Union embraces the Gvili family and all bereaved families. Our hearts are with you.”


Maccabi USA honors the memory of Ran Gvili and all who have fallen in defense of Israel and the Jewish People. May their memory be a blessing.

Thank you to everyone who attended the screening of @partingthewaters_film at the @miamijff and showcasing your Maccabi pride!

We can’t wait to continue demonstrating our Jewish pride at more screenings across the country
