Join the Rosenthal JCC's delegation to the JCC Maccabi Games! The JCC Maccabi Games ® have been called an Olympics for Jewish teens, but they serve a larger purpose than just athletic competition. At this Olympic-style event, athletes participate in one of 14 sporting events, creating memories that will last a lifetime. The Games also promote community involvement, teamwork, and pride in being Jewish.

The JCC Maccabi Games are the largest Jewish teen event in the world. Each summer, more than 6,000 Jewish teens ages 13 to 16 participate in the Games, and more than 100,000 teens have benefited from the JCC Maccabi Games since they started in 1982. The energy and excitement make this a unique and unforgettable experience for every participant - from athletes to volunteers, and from coaches to host families.
