Maccabiah – Israel
June 30 – July 20, 2026

Click below to visit “Kurtz’s Corner” – a weekly journal entry started by Dan Kurtz, Maccabi USA’s Senior Director of Strategic Initiatives, immediately after the October 7th terrorist attack in Israel.
Be sure to check out “Shlicha Stories” featuring weekly insights, perspectives and heartfelt thoughts from Maccabi USA’s Shlicha (“Emissary”) Lior Witlin.


On October 7, 2023, Hamas’s horrific terrorist attack killed 1,200 Israelis, wounded 5,000 others, and took 240 civilians hostage.
Maccabi World Union and the Maccabiah embarked upon a campaign to house, feed, clothe, and provide essential counseling and other services to 800 Israeli evacuees, as well as leverage the power of the international sports community to keep attention focused on the hostage crisis. We succeeded in providing enough support to bridge the 10-month gap in caring for displaced Israelis before the Israeli government stepped in to fund the project. Thank you to all those who helped!
#SportSpeaksUp
Maccabi USA builds Jewish pride through sports and promotes support for Israel, Zionism, and Jewish continuity through athletic, educational, and cultural experiences for participants of all ages.
Maccabi USA envisions a world where sports serve as a galvanizing force in strengthening Jewish pride, connection, and community.
In Their Own Words
Maccabi USA strengthens connections to Jewish identity, community, and Israel. But don’t just take our word for it. Let our athletes, coaches, and staff tell you how the Maccabiah impacted their journeys.
STUART WEITZMAN
SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Generations of young Jewish athletes in financial need can now enjoy a life-changing Maccabiah experience thanks to iconic shoe designer and 4-time Maccabi USA Table Tennis alum, Stuart Weitzman. Maccabi USA’s flag bearer at the 21st Maccabiah provided a matching gift of $4.5M that spurred $2.5M in additional donations and is the largest gift in the organization’s history. Please enjoy our tribute to Stuart!

With sadness and outrage, Maccabi USA turns its eyes to the tragic events in Manchester, England – the murder of innocent Jews at a synagogue observing the holiest of days, Yom Kippur. We stand with Maccabi GB and all of our Jewish sisters and brothers in Manchester with broken hearts as we ...remember the victims of this horrific attack. May the memories of Adrian Daulby z"l and Melvin Cravitz z”l be a blessing and may those injured have a full and speedy recovery.
As Yom Kippur approaches, we reflect on the year past and look ahead with hope and purpose.
From all of us at Maccabi USA, G’mar Chatimah Tovah. May you and your loved ones be sealed for a good, sweet, and healthy 5786. This year, our prayers also include a heartfelt plea for the safe ...and swift return of all the hostages and for peace in Israel and around the world.
We wish you a meaningful Yom Kippur.
Mazel tov to the 5 Jewish players headed to the @mlb Playoffs!
Wishing @maxfried, @abreg_1, @aybaybader, @garrettstubbs, and @maxlazar_ strength, success, and a lot of October magic
