Going to Israel? Join Our Travel Group!
The Maccabiah will be the largest gathering of Diaspora Jewry in Israel since October 7th, but it isn’t just for athletes. Maccabi USA and our long-time partners at Gil Travel offer 3 different travel packages that will ensure you get to see your loved ones compete while also having a life-changing experience in our ancient homeland. Each option provides different activities, transportation levels, and price points, but all place you in Israel’s best hotels around other Maccabi families, get you a premium Opening Ceremony experience, and include amazing activities and events for all ages.
- GOLD Mission: June 26-July 6 (Tel Aviv + Jerusalem + Your Competition City)
- SILVER Supporters: June 29-July 6 (Jerusalem + Your Competition City)
- BRONZE Friends & Family: June 29-July 6 (Jerusalem + Your Competition City)
Your ‘Competition City’ will be the city closest to where your loved ones compete (Haifa, Jerusalem, or Tel Aviv). Additionally, Gil Travel is happy to extend your accommodations in Israel beyond July 6 if you wish to stay longer.
