The Games
Forty-five years
of community.
For over four decades, the MARJCC Hebraica Alex Halberstein Maccabi Games has brought the South Florida Jewish community together — an Olympic-style celebration of sport across generations, and one of the most celebrated Jewish community events in the country.
Why this event is different
We're the only JCC in the United States that hosts its own Maccabi Games — we build the whole event ourselves, right here in South Florida, every single year.
