I remember reaching back, touching the wall, seeing signs in Hebrew, knowing most everyone in the pool and watching was Jewish, and feeling a tremendous sense of being at home. That was my Maccabiah moment 24 years ago at the 1993 games. It was because of that moment that I became a Rabbi, because of that moment that I returned again this summer to spend two of the most rewarding weeks of my life with Team USA and fellow Team Rabbi Tina Sobo, helping athletes find their moment, their connection to the Jewish people and to Israel.
