Maccabiah
games. The best Jewish athletes come from all over the world to compete
in the World Maccabiah Games, an Olympic-style competition in the State of
Israel every 4 years. For two unforgettable weeks, Jews of all ages and
backgrounds convene to share their culture, their history and their values, in a
WORLD CLASS competition.
The Maccabiah Games are among the top international sporting events in the
world. There is something magical about the Maccabiah Games, a certain feeling
that touches the heart and soul of everyone who participates. It's not a feeling
that abruptly fades away at the conclusion of the competition. Rather, it lasts
a lifetime.
The Maccabi movement, named for Judah Maccabee, was initiated in
1895-96 when the first all-Jewish Maccabi gymnastics club was formed in
Constantinople. By the end of World War I, more than 100 Maccabi-style clubs
existed in Europe. The first Maccabiah Games, featuring 14 countries and 390
athletes, was held in 1932. World events forced the delay of the third Maccabiah
Games, scheduled for 1938, until 1950. The Maccabiah Games have been a
quadrennial event since 1957.
