Maccabiah 2024 was amazing! With everyone’s thoughts, Torah learning, chesed and tefillos constantly focused on Israel, the students worked collaboratively with their teammates and participated in awesome competitions from team songs and cheers to Chidon, STOMP, rikudiah (dance), trick shot, musical chairs, see run build, sports games, scavenger hunts and so much more. Team Torah (blue) and Team Tefilla (white) shined as they showcased their talents and especially their midos through impressive sportsmanship and respect. As part of a larger theme of how to support our brothers and sisters in Israel, each team decorated beautiful tzedaka boxes. Thank you to the anonymous donor for donating tzedaka in Israel for each point earned. Together as a school, JEC raised $577.50 for tzedaka. Special thank you to Morah Brooke Czarka for organizing this year’s successful and awesome Maccabiah!
