Maccabi Media’s @sylvia.zeltzer interviewed this father-daughter hype team to hear about their journey.

Congrats to 2026 Maccabiah U17 soccer player and Maccabi Cup participant @nessimjena32 on making his professional debut with @intermiamicfii

A true reflection of the work athletes put in beyond the Games. We had a front row seat this past winter at Maccabi Cup watching him and other ...rising talent compete.

The Maccabi community is behind you all the way, Nessim!

Fraternal twins, Eliana and Alexandra, 18, often joke that between the two of them, they could be an entire track team.

Eliana’s primary focus is on mid-distance running, while Alexandra recently completed a pentathlon, an event composed of high jump, long jump, shot put, 100-meter ...hurdles, and an 800-meter run.

Maccabi Media’s @a.wohl1’s article focuses on this powerful duo and how they stay so in sync on and off the track!
