Maccabi USA/Sports for Israel endeavors, through sports, to perpetuate and preserve the American Jewish community by encouraging Jewish pride, strengthening Jewish bonds and by creating a heightened awareness of Israel and Jewish identity.

We support programs that embody the Maccabi ideals of Jewish continuity, Zionism and excellence in sport.
