Dear Members,

This summer, 70+ teenagers from Baltimore will

be participating in the first ever JCC Maccabi

Experience in Israel. They will be joining

approximately 1000 other teens from around

the country and around the world in a once in a

lifetime opportunity. In addition to participating

in athletic and arts activities, they will have a

unique opportunity to learn about Israeli history,

politics and culture from expert leaders. Our group will also enjoy a

few days of home hospitality in the seaside community of Ashkelon,

Baltimore’s Sister City.

Baltimore will have twice as many teens as any other community,

thanks to the incredible support of THE ASSOCIATED: Jewish

Community Federation of Baltimore, Baltimore Zionist District, Center

for Jewish Education, Jewish National Fund, Jewish Community

Centers Association, and the Israeli Government. No teen was

denied participation for financial reasons.

We are confident that the teens who participate in the JCC Maccabi

Games and ArtsFest in Israel will be profoundly affected by their

experience. We look forward to their return so that we can help

propel their energy, excitement and enthusiasm into community

service and educational programs that will enhance our community.

We are very proud that the JCC can play such a vital role in helping

develop the future leaders of Baltimore and American Jewry.

Louis “Buddy” Sapolsky

President, JCC of Greater Baltimore
