Through the Games, we get to embrace our Jewish identity,” notes Dr. Leonardo Frydman, co-captain of the Mexican team. “The Games create an incredible social environment like no other for our children. New friendships are created, our children are exposed to different cultures, they learn good sportsmanship, and believe it or not, even some marriages come about from this annual event,” Adds Evelyn Moskowitz, co-captain of USA. “Under the leadership of Maccabi Games co-chairs, Helen Beda, Rully Moskovitz, Isail Wagenberg, and Salo Wagenberg supported by a cast of dedicated volunteers and MAR-JCC staff,” says Gary Bomzer, MAR-JCC Executive Director, “our Maccabi Games has become a showcase program to our community that not only boasts more than 2,000 registered athletes, but also brings thousands of spectators to the MAR-JCC to enjoy watching the competition.” For information and sponsorship opportunities for the Maccabi Games, check out the MAR-JCC website at www.marjcc.org or call 305-932-4200, ext. 139.
