Paralympic Events at the Maccabiah 2013

Untitled1


Maccabi World Union (MWU) is the largest and longest running Jewish sports organization spanning five continents, over 60 countries, 450 clubs, and 400,000 members. The Maccabi movement began in 1895 with the establishment of a “Gymnastics Club” in Constantinople (now Istanbul), Turkey, formed by expatriate Jews from Europe who were excluded from membership in a similar club. Instead of accepting their exclusion from the institution, the Jews formed the Constantinople Maccabi Society, which spread rapidly as a model across the Bosphorus to other European centers of Jewish life.

International Holocaust Remembrance Day - January 27, 2012

Candle


January 27, 2012 marks the 67th return of the day on which the Red Army liberated the last survivors of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in Poland.

Auschwitz-Birkenau was the largest extermination camp of the Nazi regime.

More than 2,5 million Jews were murdered in this camp.

We, the descendants, should never forget them. Our message has to pass to all coming generations to remember and always to be alert. NEVER AGAIN.

In the time of the worrying increase of old and new anti-Semitism, we the Maccabim, should stay united and continue educating our youth to be proud of their Jewishness.

We will never recover from the tragedy of the Holocaust, but our activity for the Jewish Peoplehood and the centrality of the State of Israel are the very embodiment of Jewish continuity.

Message from the EMC Executive
- 13th European Maccabi Games

13th EMG


Maccabim, Friends!


The 13th European Maccabi Games in Vienna ended with an outstanding Closing Ceremony on July 12, 2011. We can look back at another milestone in the glorious history of our Maccabi Movement. The EMG had all aspects of our Maccabi ideology that we strive for — Jewish Sports, Jewish Education, cultural and Zionist programs, and Jewish values. Foremost we proved that even though we came to Vienna from all the corners of the globe, our Jewish roots and identity are the bond between us, making ALL of us a part of the great Maccabi family.

 

We shared our experience with representatives from 37 countries. We competed in 17 sports. Not all of you went home with a medal around your neck, but with or without a medal being part of this Jewish experience made us all winners. We all went home as proud Jews, as great representatives of our people.

 

The 13th EMG were organized in an outstanding manner, Our thanks go again and again to the Organizing Committee of the Games, the professional staff and all the wonderful volunteers. We will keep these Games in our memories as an unforgettable week and as another big step to our Jewish continuity.

 

Maccabi chai!
