7/12/17 - 20th World Maccabiah Games Daily Update

7/12/17: 20th World Maccabiah Games Update (Open Fencer showing Team USA pride) Message from Tal Brody, Goodwill Ambassador to Israel The 20th World Maccabiah Games are the first time that I have had the opportunity to attend competitions other than basketball. Prior to these Games, my only real experience at the Maccabiah Games was with basketball and now I've been to swimming competitions, water polo games, water polo matches, gymnastics, and more. I am getting the true Maccabiah experience. Some of these sports I have only seen on TV in the Olympics, and what a sight it is to see them in person! On Sunday, I will be attending all the final basketball Games in Jerusalem, which I am very excited for. It has been a very interesting Maccabiah experience for me, each year I've seen the skill level of American athletes increase tremendously. Click here to read more...
