In Their Own Words

Enjoy a look back at the impactful events, programming and celebrations enjoyed by Maccabi USA members in 2025.
STUART WEITZMAN
SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Generations of young Jewish athletes in financial need can now enjoy a life-changing Maccabiah experience thanks to iconic shoe designer and 4-time Maccabi USA Table Tennis alum, Stuart Weitzman. Maccabi USA’s flag bearer at the 21st Maccabiah provided a matching gift of $4.5M that spurred $2.5M in additional donations and is the largest gift in the organization’s history. Please enjoy our tribute to Stuart!

Today, we honor our roots, celebrate growth, and strengthen the connections that bring our community together
On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jews murdered and the millions more murdered by the Nazis.
We remember their lives, share their stories, and make it our responsibility to never forget.
From Maccabi World Union:
“With the return of Ran Gvili (may his memory be a blessing), the last fallen hostage still held in Gaza has finally been brought home.
After more than two years of waiting, this chapter has come to its painful close. His memory will be with us always, ...and his return allows his family - and all of us - a measure of closure.
Maccabi World Union embraces the Gvili family and all bereaved families. Our hearts are with you.”
