2010 Maccabi GamesThe JCC Maccabi Games® have been offering a life-and personality-shaping experience to Jewish teenagers since 1982. The JCC Maccabi Games can be called the Olympics for Jewish teens, but they serve a larger purpose than athletic competition. The Games also promote community involvement, teamwork, and pride in being Jewish. The Maccabi games are the largest Jewish teen event in the world. The energy and excitement make it a unique and unforgettable experience for every participant, from athletes to volunteers, from coaches to host families.This year Team Kansas City went to Omaha from August 1-6 and received medals in the following categories:  Dance:Gabbie Fried Bronze - 15-16 Jazz Bronze - 15-16 Hip hop Gold - 15-16 Tap Gold - 15-16 open Volleyball:

The annual event is now held in multiple sites to accommodate the thousands of people who take part. Each host city plans for housing, transporting, entertaining, and chaperoning the athletes, as well as organizing the Days of Caring and Sharing. On this day, athletes devote their time and energy to working with community organizations. The JCC Maccabi Games are made possible with the generous help of many sponsors and volunteers who donate time and valuable resources, including our continental sponsor, The Coca-Cola Company.
