“This was an incredible opportunity for Jewish youth to compete with others athletes, but also foster mutual respect and sportsmanship,” says Rady JCC Maccabi Games co-chair, Al Greenberg. “Apart from the excellence of our athletes in their chosen sports, it’s also about fun and socialization, enriching their Jewish identity.”
