Seeking Youth Athletes and
Artists for JCC Maccabi Games®
and ArtsFest®!
JCC Maccabi was created to provide Jewish
youth, ages 12-16 years old, with a supportive
environment that fosters mutual respect and
sportsmanship, where they can interact in an
atmosphere of fun, democracy, and peace. Par-
ticipants cultivate a deeper understanding and
instill an appreciation of Jewish values within
Jewish youth, enrich their Jewish identity in an
informal setting, and encourage their identifi-
cation with the state of Israel.
The JCC Maccabi Games® and ArtsFest® is the
largest Jewish youth event in the world. From
August 9-14, 2020, Pace University in New York
will welcome over 1500 visiting Jewish teens
from across the globe. The JCC Maccabi Games®
promotes and encourages the health, physical
fitness and well-being of Jewish youth through
participation in recreational and athletic ac-
tivities. The activities for this year’s games are:
Boys Baseball, Boys/Girls Basketball, Boys/Girls
Ice Hockey, Boys/Girls Soccer, Girls Volleyball,
Boys/Girls Swimming, Boys/Girls Table Tennis,
Boys/Girls Tennis, Boys/Girls Dance, and for the
first time ever, Boys/Girls E-Sports!
Participants will learn the values of teamwork,
integrity, cultural pride and community service
while expanding an appreciation of Jewish
values, connection to the community, enriching
their Jewish identities, improving their overall
health and well-being and building lifelong
friendships.
