Maya Reiner participates in the Maccabi games!
I participated in the Pan American Maccabi games in Buenos Aires, Argentina in December as a member of the US delegation on the field hockey team. It was such an amazing and beautiful experience to be surrounded by Jewish athletes from around the world. The pride and love that was brought to this event shows the strength and dedication the Jewish community has to overcome all that is before us. It was particularly moving for me to be able to be in this environment post October 7th, to show the strength and pride of the Jewish community. I was so proud to be part of our strong Jewish community that showed the world that we will continue to support each other and combat antisemitism. It was truly an experience of a lifetime, and I hope to be able to participate in the upcoming Maccabi games in Israel in the summer of 2025.
