19th Maccabiah

Every four years, talented Jewish athletes from all over the
world meet in Israel for the Maccabiah Games and display
courage, determination, sportsmanship and most of all -
Jewish pride.

I am honored and excited to have qualified and to have
been chosen to represent Canada at the 19th Maccabiah
Games which will be held from July 18 - July 30, 2013.
I will be part of Team Canada’s Junior Women’s soccer
team.

At the Games, known as “The Jewish Olympics” I will
be part of a world delegation of more than 8,000 Jewish
athletes competing in more than 40 sports. Our Canadian
team will be composed of over 600 athletes, coaches,
medical and support staff. The Maccabiah is the 3rd
largest sporting event in the world and is one of the most
important social traditions of the Jewish people in recent
times.

I have been told there is no feeling like the one an athlete
experiences when they play to represent their country. I
can hardly wait to represent Canada, competing against
the best Jewish athletes from around the world!
