For the third time in nineteen years, the largest Jewish teen event in the world is returning to Omaha, and we need YOU to "Get in the Game!"

From August 1st - 6th, 2010, nearly 1,000 young Jewish athletes, ages 12-16, from cities across the United States and Israel, along with their delegation heads, coaches, and families will gather in Omaha for a week of Olympic-style events, competition, social and educational programs, and community service projects. That includes over 280 eligible local athletes from Omaha!

In addition to athletes, we are seeking 350 Jewish families to open their homes, and an additional 500+ volunteers to plan and implement these Games.

The JCC Maccabi Games® make a vital contribution to the athletic, social, and cultural growth of the participating youth like no other event! Additionally, these Games will bring together our entire Jewish Community as we promote healthy development, physical fitness and teamwork, all while strengthening Jewish identity and building self-esteem.

There are so many ways you can be a part of the action and share in the wonderful experience of the Omaha JCC Maccabi Games®
