2023 JCC Maccabi Games

As the largest Jewish Youth event in the world, the JCC Maccabi Games create an experience that you will remember for a lifetime. Our teens, coaches, and families form meaningful relationships that transcend the week of JCC Maccabi and the boundaries of geography. JCC Maccabi teens have gone on to compete in the World Maccabiah Games, the Pan American Maccabi Games, professional sports, and even the Olympics. The community of alumni includes familiar names like Olympic swimmers Lenny Krayzelburg and Jason Lezak, Survivor’s Ethan Zohn, actor Jason Segal, and American Idol’s Brett Lowenstern.

Get ready to feel the spirit of JCC Maccabi when representing your community, getting to know your roommates and teammates, meeting new friends, participating in community service, compete on an international stage, and party at a one-of-a-kind social event each night.

You will receive a SWAG bag with your uniform and delegation gear that you will wear throughout the week and when we march together into the opening ceremony. Picture yourself walking into a stadium in front of thousands of spectators and looking around knowing all the other teens participating are also Jewish. You will make new friends from across the globe as you trade your gear for kangaroos, sombreros, and British Union Jack attire.

Whether you bring home the best swag, a gold medal, or new lifelong friendships there is no doubt that you will have the time of your life at the 2023 JCC Maccabi Games.

This year there are two incredible opportunities! The JCC Maccabi Israel Games July 5-25, 2023 AND The JCC Maccabi Games and Access in Fort Lauderdale August 6-11, 2023.
