JCC Maccabi Games® St. Louis Delegation
The JCC Maccabi Games® offer Jewish teens ages 13-16 a unique social, cultural, and life-shaping experience. The Games bring athletes from around the world together and serve a larger purpose than athletic competition. They promote rachmanus (compassion), tikkun olam (repairing the world), and Amiut Yehudit (Jewish peoplehood). These sentiments are shared during the week through unique experiences. The energy and excitement make the Games an unforgettable experience for everyone – whether athlete, volunteer, coach, or host. St. Louis has participated in the Games since 1984, taking athletes to cities throughout the United States and Israel, and hosted in 1993, 1996, 2003, and 2016.
