2022 JCC Maccabi Games
Mazal tov to the teens representing team Miami Beach at the 2022 JCC Maccabi Games in San Diego. We are so proud of our team of 18 athletes who competed in basketball, volleyball, and tennis.
MBJCC took home the Gold in 16U Boys Basketball and Silver in Girls Volleyball. Thank you to the participants, the parents and to our Delegation Head Stacey Hatch and Coaches Joe Campodonico and Ira Silver.
This year marked the 40th anniversary of the JCC Maccabi Games, the largest sporting event for Jewish teens in the world, with more than 1,500 participants representing 57 JCCs from around the globe.
The program was transformative, exciting, and created positive Jewish lifetime memories. From the Opening Ceremonies to the JCC Cares mitzvah project, from home hospitality to evening events, hang time, sporting events, and more.
And this year also began a new inclusive track titled the “Access Games” - a pilot initiative that provided Jewish teens who have cognitive and developmental disabilities with a meaningful and integrated JCC Maccabi experience. It was amazing to witness and be a part of “first-hand.”
Next year’s JCC Maccabi Games program will be in both Fort Lauderdale and Israel – so many participants are already looking forward to attending. If you are interested in having your teen participate in next year’s Maccabi Games, email the Miami Beach Delegation Head, Stacey Hatch, at Stacey@mbjcc.org.

Miami Beach, Gymnastics Success at AAU Nationals
This summer, our Miami Beach Gymnastics team attended the AAU Gymnastics National Championship in Springfield, IL. The team finished with its highest number of Nationals title to date since they began attending 7 years ago with 5 All Around National Champions; Story, Sofia, Emiliana, Albe, and Isabella, and multiple Individual event titles (see below).
In addition to Isabella being an All-Around National Champion, she also achieved the All-American Award, awarded to the highest scoring All-Around athlete in the session regardless of age. She beat out 71 athletes for this award, and Albe was right behind her in 2nd place. (only .025 separated these 2)
In true Miami Beach Gymnastics fashion, we found plenty of time to have fun in between all the competitions. From the Mexican Fiesta complete with face painting and a Mariachi Band of 1 to the fun-filled day at the Water park hitting all the slides and racing Go Karts to the mornings at Starbucks to the unlimited team bonding at the hotel. It was truly a magical experience for all athletes, coaches, and parents involved.
A huge thank you goes out to all the coaches that spent countless hours training these athletes throughout the season. Their success would not have been possible without them. Of course, the Team would not be complete without all of the families who continue to cheer their gymnasts on all season and drive them daily to and from practice and competitions.
Vault National Champions
Emi, Sofia, Isa, Mia
Uneven Bars National Champions
Emi, Sofia, Story, Piper, Emma
Balance Beam National Champions
Emi, Sofia, Isa, Albe, Story, Shirel, Federica, Mia

MBJCC Stories: Powered by Community | | |

"My daughter, Charlie, and I were at the beach this morning making a sandcastle “town” together. We created lots of big and small buildings and talked about everything that goes into a happy town. We made a hospital, police station, school, shopping mall, bank… and then she jumps up and says, “wait, we need a jcc! Every happy town needs a jcc”!!!
I thought it was so touching and poignant in its simplicity. You are a central part of her identity. Her safe and happy space. Every town needs one.
I felt so touched by her comment and just had to share!!"
