Looking back on the Toronto 2026 JCC Maccabi Games® & Access Games, I’m still reflecting on what an incredible honour it was to serve as a Co-Chair.
Seeing thousands of Jewish athletes, coaches, and families come together under one roof was a feeling like no other. The energy, the camaraderie, and the raw competitive spirit on display were electric, and without a doubt, standing together at the Opening Ceremonies was the most memorable and special part of the entire week for me.
Showing up with undeniable Jewish pride matters more now than ever before. Watching these young athletes represent their cities, wear their stars with confidence, and build lifelong bonds reminded me of the strength and resilience of our global community.
To our organizing committee, volunteers, sponsors, and every single athlete who gave it their all: thank you for making this vision a reality. Co-chairing alongside Alan Perlis was an experience I’ll hold onto for a lifetime. 💙🇨🇦
